Time to start giving some closure this thread! Over the last two weeks I had some time off, and man, did I spend it well!

I gotta give it to Hammer Performance for a great kit. Installation went without a hitch what-so-ever. New, jugs, pistons well packed and ready to rock. Gasket kit was ample, more than complete, and fit like butter. The Dyna 2000i timed like magic and running in single fire now gives me a warm fuzzy.

I coupled this with a CV Performance tuners kit. Dayum. Night and day difference right there after the carb kit install, modifying the slide, etc... And the Thunder Torque inserts with my baffles removed, just what the doc ordered for my old deaf ears. Now I can hear and feel power.

I probably took several thousand pics, unfortunately for you, if you want to see them, you'll have to look real fast as it's all time-lapse! If it weren't raining all weekend, I would have it out seating the rings in as we speak and doing another Vlog. Maybe soon...

Here are two time lapse vids I did. Something goofy, as I have never used the time lapse function of my gopro's yet.



I should add...

My flash tuner works very well!

Thanks my friend! Yea, because of my wide angle video, I believe the shop looks way bigger than the standard two car garage it is. . Got the beer fridge, and my Brutus Ten brewery all packed up against a wall. Need to brew soon!

As final closure, I had to prove that it runs. So heres my latest Vlog putting some break-in miles on the new kit. I'll say this thing is just great. Dang fun project, and a heck a lot more power!
