Milwaukee 8 Build... Experienced input?!?
Looking for feedback from a bit broader audiance than just my local dealer mechanics... Since this is a new motor, builds are naturally new territory for many.
2017 Street Glide 107 doing SE Stage 3 with; SE ProStreet Tuner, SE 10mm Plug Wires, SE Perf. High Comp. Plugs, Thunderheader 2:1 Exhaust.
AND I'm leaning toward doing the TimkenBearing and also the SE 58mm EFI Throttle Body (re-using stock injectors for now) and the SE Heavy Breather Air Cleaner.
Mechanic agrees on both upgrades (TB & 58mm) but no one seems to have any concrete performance numbers / expectations with such a setup other than the factory Stage 3 numbers.
Anyone out there done such a build? 58mm help any? Any feedback? Pros Cons?

CLARIFICATION: I failed to specify (sorry), the entire build is being done at time of bike delivery (patiently waiting on parts availability). My dealer has assured me that they will warranty the entire build (including the 58mm upgrade) so that's why I'm going the SE parts route (rather than Fuel Moto or the others).
I learned that the Plug Wire & SE Perf Plugs (High Compression) are "necessary" on another build (2014 SG 103" w/ Stage 4 and they proved to add on dyno numbers - And mechanic agrees that they will prove similar on this motor build.
As for the ThinderHeader exhaust, it's supposed to be available by end of October. (?!? Will see)

10mm wires are a waste of money on a M8, not needed on dual plug heads
SE High Comp. Plugs again a waste of money on a M8
There is No 58 mm throttle body for the M8, stock is 55
Here are a few dyno runs on just the stage III build with
Street Cannon 4.5" Slip-on mufflers
High Flow AC
Stage III kit

After 3,500 miles I came up with one disappointment. In all the literature, press releases and MC magazine articles that I have read said the oil in the breather was resolved with routing crankcase to the oil pan around the trans.
My SE breather was turning black with road dust and crushed bugs. When I took it off the butterfly valve, intake, intake backing plate and filter were dripping with oil. The vent tubes coming off of the hollow securing bolts were dripping frothing oil.
Crap! Same old same old crap.
Just another breather to reroute the blow by. I have an idea already to mod it.
