I figured it was a 107 but the title was 103 build. Dyno sheet looks good...looks like it has some good torque all over the place.
Sorry it's a little misleading title .
He wants me to bring it back to him in 500 miles to change the oil , check for leaks , and check the tune . He runs it 50 miles on the dyno to seat the rings , changes the oil , then tunes it , he uses dino oil the 1st 500 miles , probable change it with dino oil at 500 miles too , says synthetic's too slick for good break in but I can use it the next change after the 500 mile check - up , 1500 - 2500 miles after the 500 mile one I figure .
You'd think the hp would be better for as late as they come on.
Shoulda stuck with the 590s. Come on earlier, stronger, and hold on longer.
Not a huge dip in torque there but way later in the game than I'd care for. 3300 to 3800? Really not impressed with those cams. Probably why we've never heard of them.
I just did 127/126 with the 590s in a 103 to 107 build this spring. The 127 hp is at 5750rpm. 126ft.lbs. torque @ 4350. Torque is still 110 when we shut it down @ 6200rpm.

I was a little disappointed in the torque , he did the same build on a 2015 103 and got 112 / 130 , when I first talked to him a couple years ago he was using the 590's. Those are some good numbers from a 107 build , your only an hour away from me , do you have a shop ?

Where are you at? No shop. Just a garage. I sent the heads and jugs off to Don Dorfman, HD Street Performance. One of the best at getting heads to flow. Got mine flowing 320cfm @ 28" 7000rpm. 1.980/1.615 valves.
