talked to another local guy today, why don't people LISTEN to what the customer wants, I'm so tired of this EGO bulllshit, ill do the cams myself, and buy a CVO Milwaukee when they put one in a breakout, lol,,, I only use fueling he tells me, s&s is garbage? OK, GOT IT YOU DEAL IN FUELING, I know they make nice stuff, but the 583c cam is perfect for what I want, and possible oil pump and cam chest while I'm in there..really pissed off about today, guy was. a total *******, I'VE BEEN DOIN THIS X AMOUNT OF YEARS, DIDNT ASK ME ANYTHING, how did he know or not know, what I'm capable of, or how many hours I've talked to manufactures, etc, I put a lot of homework into what I do,

You will get a much better bump with headwork in a full kit package. If the funds are available it's the best way to go the first go around since you only would have to re-tune Once.

Sorry For the delay. Softail breakout, went with the S&S 124 hot set up kit. My cases out to bore. Went With the 10.8 compressionkit and 640 cams. 58 mm throttle body/manifold, hpi 5.3 injectors,s&s tc3 pump and plate, r&r cycle overflow air cleaner assembly, primo rivera pro clutch. Some nickel dime some stuff like plugs and fluids, gaskets ECT. Will be on the dyno and tuned with a powervision 2

Sounds like a good setup.. You'll like it.. If not raising the compression, advance the cam a little.. Anyone doing the heads? Exhaust choice will make a big difference in output..

No max, it's out of the box. As for the exhaust I'm stuck with the bobcat. Simply not willing to spend any more money on the bike. It's not together yet btw, but I think I'll be fine with this kit.
