Did you change the gearing at all?....
No gear change, still a stock tall geared fat *** breakout. I don't feel the need to be honest, at least not yet.

One thing I'm trying to figure out is why you only went with 10.8:1 with the 60° intake valve closing. I would have thought you would have brought more of the potential of that cam out with 11.3-.4:1 static compression. still would have been really good Street manners....... Definitely would made a nice difference even on the bottom end as Dave said....

Really good result for the low compression! That's right in the zone SnS advertises these kits. Looks like the pipe did real well too! Awesome Chris, and if you ever want that extra 15/15 it's always right there w minimal work

Good morning guys. I agree I could have gotten more out of it. This is way more power than I've ever had. I wanted to be as safe as possible and still get close to 130/ 130. I think I accomplished that.
