Just a quick note...finally got it all on. Very easy thanks to all that replied! Few observations for others:
. Reused crossover gasket....looked like new, and tight. No issues.
. Reused gaskets at head...same as above.
. Used nickel anti seize on O2 sensors...just a touch, be careful and slip one (stock were very tight).
. Use torque wrench....pipe to head much lower than would guess....would be very easy to over torque by hand.
. VIED at 50% decel and overrun popped like hell. Thought leaks etc but dialed down to 25% smoothed right out. They do something.
. Jackpot 4" louder than thought....initially felt too loud. 100 miles now and getting used to them....3 cold rides.. Looks like spring before I get to really decide
. Jackpot fit and finish perfect. Nice rumble. Explodes when you kick it.
One surprising outcome....seems power band (pull) shifted from 2500-4000ish to 3500-5000ish. Don't remember reading anything on this....odd.
Thanks again to all!
