they must have made some adjustments to the base gasket and head gasket thickness....
Pistons ?

Peace.

The Pentroof design is not new but is proven to handle high compression, I expected more builds at 12 to one or more myself, time will tell.

Peace.

Fuel Moto Level A ported heads

Fuel Moto Outlaw slip on's
Woods M8-408 cam and Woods lifters
HD latest oil pump and bulletin Seal kit
AIM SDR clutch
TTS tuner Dyno tuned

will post results within 1-2 weeks,
interested to see results as compared to the Fuel Moto builds advertised
Fuel Moto advertises around 145/145 for this setup, they advertise 150/150 using their XXX 2" stepped headers.
My builder claims more like 130/130 ,( I think he is being conservative.)
any guess as to what results will be??
Well for this build I got these results:
144TQ/ 142HP ,
I think this is in line to what Fuel Moto advertises , or close to their advertised results.

Good numbers for sure. I'll be pleased if mine comes out like that.
I finished the build but have only put a few miles on it due to weather. I hope to work on the tune a bit and get some break in miles before I get it Dyno tuned
