Update : Had to readjust the pushrods had alot of valve train noise. Did my 500 mile break in and after using the power vision to auto tune. I can say this thing pulls like a Freight train!! It has plenty of torque but still on the fence about getting target tune to see what she can really do. It has no issue with hills it pulls the the power band with ease. Now I want to see how my fuel economy is. Have only been getting around 100 miles a tank being heavy handed in the Throttle. Can't be happier with the results.

Haven't done any head work as of yet. Wanted to see how this setup worked out. I am considering gearing or headwork. I thought 100 miles to a tank was kind of low but i was riding hard trying to populate hits in all the cells so the power vision could do its job.

On a different note, did you upgrade your clutch spring? Your stock clutch will struggle with all that new found torque.

If you were to do the head work you wouldn't need to worry about the gearing as you would have plenty of torque to get you moving (you already do) The headwork and added compression that comes with it will make a big difference.

When I put everything back together instead of doing my usual 1 quart in the primary i did the 42 Oz and couldn't belive how much of a difference it made. Much less noise and vibration. I think it really sounds like a swing machine now
