Finished buffing and waxing today! Its all back together and nowhere to go. We got about 8 inches of snow last night!
So about the slipons... They are the Fuel Moto Jackpots. They come with an extra baffle that is supposed to help with reversion. What I understand is it helps with that dip in the torque curve that seems like an issue with some exhausts. I am running an S&S power tune duals head pipe and the Jackpots with the baffle. When I dyno it I could have him try it with and without baffle?
I already have an HPI 55/58 Max Flow and 5.3 injectors sitting here. one reason why I said my build will come out on top.
1.800 runners that Kirby is matching the ports to with that HPI as well.
It would be fun if we both dyno'd with the same tuner/dyno. A real test of the builds then. I'll lose a little to the balancer but...That's why I didn't go with a big hp cam. I can't rev past 6200 anyway.
I pulled out all the stops on this build. Right down to an S&S crank.
one other thing I'm doing is pushing it on compression. 10.9 - 11.0. Whatever it takes to get my cranking compression at 205 to 210psi with the 3cc domed CPs. I think 85cc chambers is right at 205. 84cc is closer to 210.
Fk you guys! You suck! Snowin' here right now. That's why this is happening in my dining room this time. Screw trying to heat the garage when it's -20! I **** you not. Table lift and all and I have a ceramic tile floor in there!
