Hey Frank,
I will give you as much detail as possible. I will be having it dyno'd. The cams go in and then we're checking the jetting to them and may change to these needles he has been toying with. You'll get everything I find out. he also gave me a super break on the cams as a test pigeon. He doesn't have anyone else running the T'bike pipes so he has incredibly fair with all we have done so far.
Supposed to be able to be picked up tomorrow. Hope so.

They rock,
I don't know if anyone has gone this route? What I have found is quite awsome. Cams alone and keeping the jets and needles the same, 3 shims with 142 mains and I can't remember what the pilot was... I'll find out. Tried the new racing needles ,too much fuel. 200 miles so far and counting. At 500 we'll adjust the valves again and check the jetting again. Matt is excited to give an opinion based on what he knows from building big horsepower motors. He is as excited about this project as I am. Maybe he'll call it one of the South Bay Project bikes one day.
What I know is the roll on power of this bike is truly killer. The hole power is enhanced as well, but the power from 2000 rpm's is insane. We will run a dyno on it after I get the adjustments at 500 and the jetting double checked. Feels pretty ****** good though. My test bike I run with is my freinds 95 inch Road Glide with cams and airbox kit with pipes and rechipping. I hold my own of the line and pass thru 3rd into 4rth and then he is coming back again. But the in twisties their lost.
Riding again,
Vic

I have cams which I presume are stage ones , big bore too. I am very please with how it runs and do better than hold my own out there. Weather permitting I will try to dyno tomorrow. I still think I can tweak a bit more using TBS or Truxton needles but I want a dyno run with current set up and go from there. I will post to all once I get it done.

Sorry no dyno yet. It rained hard all day Saturday so I went ahead and did some other things. I do promise to post results when I get it done.
