This is what sold me on these pipes, cruising you tube one night and found this video.
Saw that video when I was searching around for sound clips of those pipes but only wish the camera wasn't so close to the pipes. Wish he would have put the camera down a few feet away to get a better sound. I plan on getting me a set though soon.

Cam is in, Adjustable pushrods and covers, inner bearing, 31 tooth baker drive pulley and all gaskets are in. changed out the thundermax and installed a PCIII USB today. Tach is in just waiting on the mount. All I need before I start the motor is the pistons, rebore the cylenders and gap the rings. Going to a 103" but staying stock compression with the Andrews 48H. I think I will be into the motor in 2 weeks:-) 500 miles, service and tune.

I got the motor done this weekend:-) I chose different route in this build. I had my extra set of cyclenders bored for a 103" Wiseco 10.5 compression pistons (5cc Dome), Heads were SE 110", .030 Cometic head gasket, Andrews 48H cams, and adjustable pushrods and covers. When I did the math the Static Compression was 9.81/1, corrected was 8.96/1 (used the Andrews 54H cam, 48H was not available on the Big Boyz web sight). A stock 96" corrected compression runs around 8.92/1. I made a harness for the ACR on the 110 heads and wired them in when I hit the start button. I have 500 miles to allow the rings to set and then will get her tuned. I do know she turns on around 2400 RPM and pulls hard through 5th gear. Just waiting on some nice weather to get the break in miles done. Using a PC III USB and the pipes are 2 into 2. The build made the Pipes noticeably louder.
