Not done just yet.... Taken it slow & easy. Actually waiting on some ARP stainless hardware now (HogDoc!).....

I'm sure the dyno's good for way more than anything I can come up with....

The waiting and knowing what's coming is part of the fun.Taking the time to make sure everything is right makes the end result worth the wait.These big motors were meant to be in Harleys.

Good luck with the new build -- folks here (you know who they are) are already secretly contacting T-Man.

Can wait until that thing hits the ground.
C'mon Lyn..... you know everything is bigger in Texas......

I would probably rather leave it out and use a plug to avoid any potential contact in the case but I can see where due to the amount of material removed from the cases deformation could occur. You have apparently tried and trued this method just giving my 2 cents worth.

I can't quite remember... help me.....

Seems like it had something numeric about it...????....

U need to just give me a budget and let me have at. IMO, U need some SIIN swagger to go along with that boss motor. I know - I know - you will say - Dre' has a Road King. And, "Your not ride'n unless your glide'n".

However, my twist is: "All that motor don't mean a thing if your ride aint got no bling". (at this time I would like to apologize to all of my college professors for my grammer)
