Default Build finished need 1000 miles quick!!

Got the bike back yesterday. Rode it home, nice and easy 115 miles ,but damn does it sound MEAN. Went with the following set-up.
HTCC Heads cnc port and polished
HTCC 103 stroker pistons
103 Stroker flywheel
SE rocker arm support kit
SE 50 mm throttlebody
compression releases
perfect fit pushrods
95" jugs
SE 260 cam
Looking forward to putting some miles on this weekend. 70 degrees and sunny. Then in for the dyno run.

I saw your bike up at Patriot Harley [in peices]- sent you a PM to see what you were doing to it- I don't think you got the PM. Hardcore

Awesome DI!

I can certainly relate to the feeling. I frooze my **** last week getting some miles on b4 dyno tune. It's kust a killer trying to rack those initial miles up!!!!

Do you have a tuner selected and scheduled?

We'll sure be eagerly waiting to head how it turns out! Do keep us posted!!!!

That is very interesting. I have heard both sides.I am sorta middle of the roading it. In other words not babying it but at the same time not going full bore. Riding pretty much normal. I do think I will change the oil today after reading that article. I am big on extra oil changes on anything mechanical and I have had real good luck with all my company vehicles by requiring 3000 mile oil changes. Thanks for the article.

Nice build
That should get you in the T3 [triple 3s(100ci/100TQ/100HP)] club for sure. Let us know what the numbers look like after the dyno.
