Only have a about 50 miles on her now. Haven't grabbed much throttle yet. Drained the oil tonight and will do it again twice before I get back on the dyno at about 500 miles.

How different does it sound after the 124 upgrade?

Cams a lot harder, different cadence for sure. I'm using the same pipe from before.

Love how my friends 124 sounds. Especially when it starts. Its more of a bang like a gun went off. He is running a 2 into 1 Rinehart.

200 miles on so far, done the oil twice, and swiched my clutch springs to the 58 lb set. The light set would Not hold. I found out the first time I grabbed a little throttle. Once on the dyno if I need more I will go to 3 85lb, and 3 58lb staggered. Clutch pull right now is no problem. Engine temps after 40 miles at 70 mph were stable at 287. This was with the break in map , and ambient temps of 101. Update on the clutch springs : no slip now, but I haven't got it hard yet. It's way too got now( supposed to be 111 today) so she's parked for now at only 220 miles.

Congrats brother! And thanks for all of the details in your thread. Great info for those of us who are hoping to do this build in the future. Please keep the updates coming. Would love to hear a video of the start up.
