OOPs   

There went back and fixed it. Sorry about that the copy and paste didn't work the first time.

Lol. Got to love modern technology.

Actually you had me worried. I know my eyes are bad but...
Baffles sure helped that dip.

[WildmanUltra]

Yep, I had copied and pasted and wasn't paying attention...… Dang sucks not double checking.

Yes it helped and now it's just waiting for winter to get here and I yank the bike back down and have Don @ HD Performance do some of his magic so come spring I'll ditch the SEPST and tune the bike with a PV. I guess I could ride it as it is now but after reading this whole thread and seeing what others have been able to get from this kit I'm a little disappointed with the results of the SEPST. I knew I wouldn't get as much from it but I was hoping I'd get more that I did.

Bug has bitten.... welcome to the club!

Yes and DANG NAB IT how much is it going to COST me??? 

But it's going to be fun doing all this. Don is going to get tired of talking to me and all the crazy questions I ask him.

After being out of the twin cam world for 4 years I purchased a used 12 cvo and started reading this 109 page thread LAST WEEK!!!

Thank you immensely for all the contributors!!!

Now I guess I need to decide if I will be going 117 this winter or just going 131 like I have wanted FOR 8 YEARS!

After all this reading it would seem GMR 600 cam, tman 625 wood tb9 cam and a zero deck 117 barrel/piston kit with appropriate compression, headwork and appropriate exhaust is a 125/115 minimum combo and 140/135 if you pick parts THAT COMPLIMENT each other!!!!!

What a great read!

"headwork and appropriate exhaust is a 125/115 minimum combo"

A Suburban 117 was done up using a TTS 150, achieving 115/132...relatively good results along that line, IMHO for a solid tourer. Tq at 110 right out of the gate at 2000rpm, peaking at 131.9 at 3800rpm and still holding to 115 out to 5250rpm...smooth package for sure

Well you can see I am no great expert on any of this and I have made my mistakes along the way. The one thing I can tell you is    MAN IS IT FUN  once you have one built. Even with the my low numbers rippin on this bike is a BLAST. I'm making 100 ft lb TQ from 2K on and you know it. I can't wait to see with it's like next spring once I get done with the rest of my engine work.

  FWIW I had Tman do my last build, used his 625 cam and had his street performer heads and piston kit, left it at 110 inch and was at 124/124 HP TRQ thing was a beast.... traded bike with 50k miles and to best of my knowledge its still out there some where kicking azz. kinda miss that bike now

I've looked around and can't seem to find the information in any of the posts or paperwork I have. What size injectors are included with the kit? Just wondering what they are since all I can find is high flow injectors.

Thanks

I believe the fuel injectors In the kit are part # 27617-08 they come up as 5.3 g/s

So I have about 300kms on my 117 build (all HD out of the box and canned tune)

I was so concerned with the internet reports of soft low end, too low of compression, blah blah blah but maybe most of these kits are going into couchglides? 1000 pound rolling discos? No idea.

In my Prostreet this engine is a freight train. Pulls from clutch engagement all the way up and then hits even harder at 3500. (Rev limiting myself to 4K at the moment during drivetrain break in)

So all the people who read all these threads and convince themselves that the 259 cam and 9.9-1 compression won’t do the trick. Save your money and enjoy the bike.

Awesome. Pulls WAY harder than my 107 FM with 555s

I know it's an old post but I have to agree I installed kit as is in addition to s&s cam plate and oil pump and I just love it. Self tuned with FP 3 . Have not gone past 4500 rpm yet but it just keeps pulling.

Version 2 of my 117 build, different heads is only change.

[JMK]

I have the 117 kit on order, not planning on headwork. I am going to go for the compression bump with the thinner head gasket. My question is: I saw one post with a 0.027" cometic head gasket, and most with a 0.030" head gasket. Is there a drawback to the thinner gasket? I understand I will need to do deck height checks, just wondering if it works from that standpoint does it cause other problems?
Thanks

Do you know what changes John made for the 2nd version of your heads, that differ from the 1st set?

I told him the cam I was using and I wanted a 100,000 mile set of heads. I do know that the heads are 94cc for 10.3 static, and 2.1 intake valves. My numbers are slightly better than the last go around but more important to me is how it doesn’t fall off so soon and I have confidence in them.
