Default (PiX) SoCals 3rd Round "Winter" Mods

Okay.. Here we go!!!!!!!
My last round of this 78 degree winter mods!!

S&S Super Stock Heads : These pull like a bat outta hell in the midrange. Valve seats are triple cut and sit reeaaal good!!

Roller Rocker Arms by Crane Cams : Extra $400 for no friction although i paid more than twice as much to the two "professionals" at the Venetian for more friction!!!! Ahhhhh...Vegas!!!!!!! But seriously, the throttle response is unbelievable!!!! When i wrap on it, she feels like my R6!!! Maybe even more so! No friction between the valves and the rockers. Picture a ball point pen gliding along the paper... Thats what little friction is between the valve and the rockers that produce almost no friction!! = faster throttle response!!

DynaTek ECu : Adjustable Spark Advance. Burn Baby Burn!!!!!!!

S&S Rocker Box Covers... These are required when you get Automatic Compression Releases! And they look cool !

Automatic Compression Releases : These are soooo trick!!! They wire up to the starter button so they release compression when you start, then close when you release the button... Couldve gotten manual releases but as someone once told me, "the price of cool aint cheap." (Thanx Mark )
With manuel releases you can get away with stock rocker boxes but if you forget to release, you may smoke a starter or two...(see Venetian Story)

Python True Dual Fishtail Exhaust: I went with Python because they crush the Head pipe a little making for more back pressure producing more bite at the lower RPMs.. Dyno actually showed an improvement over the 2-2s below 2700 rpms.. Python was bought by Vance n Hines and i would definitely trust in that name!! The Duals sound soooooooooo much better than my BRs 2-2s! When I let off the throttle a little to upshift, they fckin growl at me!!!!! I was goin to go FatCat but i was inspired by HDFr Nikons bike.. He did so much performance work and still made it into AI Magazine with cholos! So freakin awesome!!! And so thankful I picked the true duals!!!!!!

I removed the Dingle-berry horn and fabbed up an extra Billet Aluminum Motor Mount to stiffen the rigidity cuz you want to fire a cannon from a bolted position on granite, not from a canoe

Pingel Hi-Flow petcock to allow more fuel flow to my Mikuni .. I also love saying "Hi Flow PetCock" to the ladies

Relocated my Shotgun Shock Swithces to the Console!! So much easier to get to on the fly... Especially when you need them cuz you got cholos!

I also PCd a headlight visor matte black to match my turn signal visors...
HDFr Big H, this is what i was referring to you in my last round

Mr Luckys mirrors : retro style.. I have to thank HDFr Dansax for referring these as he has them on his badass Lo!!!!!!!

I am still waiting for a couple more things from SLICKCUSTOMS.Com so i guess there will be a Round 3.1 in the future but i just couldnt wait anymore to post the thread!!!

Here are the pics!!!!!

SnS Rocker Boxes . Notice the hole on top.. This is needed for access to the Auto Compression Releases..
