I'm new to this forum and saw this topic on S&S Single Bore Tuned Intake and hopefully I can help a little. If you check my gallery I posted a few pics. As far as actual performance numbers go I cant give facts right now. Heres the short version of the story I've been waiting almost 2 months for this flippin thing and it's been on back order. My exhaust and SERT was installed May 7th and Dyno'd 92 Hp and 107 Tq. I coudnt drive the bike stock any longer and said screw it put it on. Finally on Monday 6-25 it came in and I put it on that night. Again as far as actual numbers go I dont know but it did actually  make a difference you can feel especially in the mid range. The bike is running great so to spend another $200 for a Dyno to see a number is just not worth it especially with it running so great. Hope that helps just my 2 cents...

I like the bike!  Has a clean, smooth flowing look.  The S&S Intake and Rineharts are a terrific styling match.  Thanks for the pictures. 

Can the head crankvents be routed to the air with hoses vs into the aircleaner?

Thanks for all the complements I'm glad you all like !!! Now to answer some questions when I had the SERT and exhaust put on my father in law let me swap the filter from his Ness Big Sucker kit that he was having put on later in the week. I was told that the K&N filter flows alot better than the SE paper filter and that when I put the S&S Intake on they thought it should be close in comparison but ofcourse they couldnt guarantee it. I know it probably should be tuned again but like I said it's running great so why spend the cash to see a number. As far as crankvents go I have the Delphi set up and the bracket just bolts on I didnt have to mess with anything other than some minor shimming with the bracket. When you order you have to specify which carb you have because there are different brackets for each carb and there sold separately ($300) just for the flippin bracket. I would of had to pay $40 each for the blue filters to match my bike the kit comes with rose colored filters but because it took so long the place I bought it from gave me the one for free. Hopefully I answered all your questions anything else let me know also Hoist when you guys do that test please post the results.

Thanks

Have you come across any discount prices for it?  You mention DPP and S&S Teardrop, so are you running the Doherty Power Pacc or the S&S Tear Drop setup? 

Sorry I missed this Bagger. I'm running the Doherty PowerPacc/PowerVent set up with an S&S backplate for use with S&S style filter and S&S Teardrop Cover (from an S&S E/G carb). It comes complete with everything but the Teardrop cover. I really like the setup (except for the puking), and just ordered the Doherty Mystfree too. And I'm routing the breather to the ground anyway. I'm not sure how the breather works on the S&S Tuned Intake, or if I can still use the Power Vents, or how that would look. If I can use the PV's with it, I can still route the line to the bottom. Not sure how the breather for the Tuned Induction is set up though.

And BTW, thanks so much for the FatCat articles. I ordered the Quiet Performace Big-Bore system in the article. Would have never known about them!

Hoist!

You're welcome for the article.

I too run the Doherty PowerPacc/Powervent setup, but with an Arlen Ness Big Sucker filter.   Looking hard at the S&S Single Bore Tuned Intake.  Just that I'm on the fence about how functionable it is for long distance touring.

I've run the Doherty Mystfree breathers before- didn't eliminate my heavy oil misting.  But I do like the Mystfree breathers because it's design doesn't use the foam within the breather setup to scrub the oil from the air - less maintenance.  They are beautifully machined pieces, IMHO, an improvement over stock.  Now they just sit on a shelf in my garage because the TP Engineering rocker boxes I use now don't use breather valves at all.  But you know, the TPs didn't eliminate my heavy oil misitng either - but they look fantastic.

StrahDawg, I'm sorry, but it's not clear to me.  Does it appear hoses can be run off the head breather bolts and routed to the ground versus having the air routed into the throttle body?  Right now I run Doherty Powervents and run the hoses to the atmosphere.  From your terrific pictures it doesn't look like the Powervents can be used with the S&S setup, but it's possible hoses can still be vented to the atmosphere.  I just don't want that oily air mist going into my combustion chamber and carboning up the piston tops and combustion chamber.

Bagger I'm not sure for your application because of the different brackets. When I ordered mine I called S&S originally because it was taking so long and in conversation asked about my install and he said it was pretty much a straight bolt on part for me. Before you order I would give S&S a call they were very friendly and helpful in answering any questions. Sorry I couldnt help more but I honestly dont know.

StrahDawg - Who did you order the S&S Intake from.  If it wasn't directly from S&S, do you know what catalog it was ordered out of, i.e. Drag Specialities, Custom Chrome, Bikers Choice, etc.


Email response I recieved from S&S.

You can run the breathers to atmosphere. We run them into the intake for a cleaner look.

Bagger I sent you an email with the company's info wasn't sure if it was ok to post that. If we are and anyone else wants one let me know and I'll post or email you the info.

Numbers talk, BS walks! After getting the top end overhauled, and adding a few minor perf goodies, we dyno'd the bike up to 4500 RPM for break-in. The bike tested at 120 Tq/114 HP. We swapped the DPP for the S&S Tuned Runner and it jumped to 127 Tq/118 HP! That's over 5% increase in Tq just for the A/C change! It also picked up the bottom and mid-range Tq where there was a dip in the curve w/the DPP. I couldn't believe the increase made by just an A/C change, considering we were swapping from another Performance A/C! The numbers don't lie. But bear in mind, this is on a "tweaked" 110 engine. So, all in all, I'm sold on this unit. The S&S Tuned Runner System is staying and the DPP is history. If anyone's interested, it's up for sale in the "Selling" Section.

StrahDawg, please email again the info, I didn't recieve it from you.  You probably could post the info here as you're not the buisness, but a member who purchased a product and is satisfied with it.
