Default Christmas Drivetrain Package!

Instead of doing a 98" high comp build this winter, what the hell, might as well replace the entire friggin' drivetrain & be done with it in one shot. Here is the combo I am currently considering:

Jims 120" @ 11:1, twin plug heads, automatic comp releases
Zipper's 54mm throttle body w/ Thundermax EFI & Autotune
Baker 6
Barnett Scorpion clutch
Compufire Gen III starter

This combo should give me a rockin' yet reliable 2-up tourer. Important to keep the appearance as close to stock as possible. Any advice, suggestions or recommendations on alternate components would be welcome. Cam choice is tough & I have a few mind. Already have a buyer waiting for my stock drivetrain if I decide to pull this "heavy" pin. Phil, are ya out there, brother?

You're TOO brutal Phil, I mighta figured you would come up with a big bore kit for that combo. Serves me right for askin', but now ya got me thinkin' some more...that would be one apeshit motor. I'm not too concerned with actual numbers, heck, that's mostly for the bench racin' crowd! What you feel in the seat of your pants is what matters...know what I mean? Man, I got friggin' stomach cramps just thinkin' 'bout it!

Are you planning on a good performance exhaust(IE 2-1)to go with that setup???

Like I said, dyno #'s are not the critical issue...would likely stick with the duals & sensor bungs for the Auto-tuning system.

Default RE: Christmas Drivetrain Package!

I recently read somewhere about someone talking about using an E-Series or Trapp muffler on a FatCat.

Well.... When I went to the dyno shop last week for my measly 98" tune, what did I find lying on a work bench, but a ..... You guessed it! An E-Series muffler with a short length of pipe already fitted & flared to fit a FatCat header! I saw that & though to myself... Well I'll be a mf'er.

Now back to the MegaHunter build... I'm thinking a Borzilla would probably be best, but not likely given the circumstances. So, how about an E-Series muffler inconspicuously hidden inside each clampless wonder pipe!
