Default Ultima motors?

I saw some and there all EVO 'so? Do they do a twilight cam?
And does anyone here have one e? If so what are you thoughts on the motor?

Thanks for giving your thoughts

I have used their tc heads only. Porter got them flowing over 300. There are some drawbacks. 100cc chambers and because of valve angle. Can’t shave enough off. Had diamond make me pistons to fit the chamber. A good thing about them. I can get them blank w/out seats and guides to allow my porter to do what he wants.

I got 160hp out of a 124 w/ 640 cam with these.

You're on the internet! Ultima have a website of their own and a wide range of products to check out, including Evo engines up to 140". AFAIK they don't make a twincam replacement.

They did make a TVO that would fit a 06 and earlier touring frame. That has gone away with ownership swap. Mike G the guy behind it and all the evo stuff and twin cam stuff has moved on from the place. His office was filled with new things they were working on. Cam plates, pumps........ He also had an EGR set up for the European market and direct injected heads. All went to the way side. Sucks because I was trying to work with them with offering some 4 1/8 TC cylinder and pistons to work with their heads. I wanted to see a 124 top end with Mahls all unfinished that would allow the end user or shop the responsibility of fitting. Sad thing was. They were pretty excited to venture into the hotrod TC market. Now they want all R&D done over seas.

No T/C's available as far as we know.
Their heads, are a very good platform to work with, and we have seen outstanding results here with them.

I bought one of there 140" unassembled motors and built it my self. I have to say no issues. I only have 22k on the motor so far and it still hammers on the old 89 Electra Glide.

Yea, I have an Ultima 6 spd that I'm not too proud of. Sometimes I can't get second or third (in high rpm hard shift) and sometimes just cruising in 5th in a long sweeping right turn it'll downshift to 4th all by itself... Wish I bought a Baker. Someday I will....

Impressive-haven't seen those kinds of numbers from any Ultima motor.
That's worked S&S B2 124" level stuff-

MegaFlo did the heads. When he was done. They flowed the same has his S&S super stocks. Only the rods and head castings are ultima. I also get seats from them but they are Martin-Wells. For $500 retail. It's a starting option.
