Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. Now which of the various Perths around the World are you in?!

As a fellow S&S engine owner, after spending that sort of money buying it, just get the darned thing dyno-tuned and be done with it!

Your engine is not very common, so you may need to look around for answers. We also have an 'Engine' specific section of this Tech forum, as well as a dedicated 'Ignition' section, so visit them to see if there are any relevant threads.

Cool

My S&S 107" is carb and I bought it with the carb and dedicated IST ignition system, as a package, which gave me an extra year's warranty (which I didn't need!). I haven't checked the 143" (although I did investigate their 145" some years ago - but that is another story!), but is a dedicated system available for it from S&S? Thinking about that, if you have a dyno shop convenient it is likely they will only have experience with one suitable product, which may not be S&S or Tmax. I had mine supplied and tuned by the UK S&S importer when I bought it, in 2008.
