Hi all, been a member here for a while, but have not posted much. I have an 03 FLHTCUISE103 (my own personal hacked up HD name!). Anyway, I have had my 103 kit installed for about 12000 miles and I am pretty happy with it....but..... well, a bit more HP would be nice. Sooooo, I ordered this:

Zippers RedShift 575 chain cams
Zippers Oil Bypass shim
Zippers adjustable pushrods
Delkron cam support plate
Zippers Thundermax with Autotune
Cometic .030 head gasket

I have all of the parts but now I am concerned that the cometic 030 head gasket may not be compatable, can anyone tell me if I will be ok? Doesn't seem like that much of a difference....but in engine tollerances I want to be very careful! Is anyone using it on thier SE103 setup?

Any feeback would be appriciated!
Thanks,
Randy

Ultraredneck,

Well now your asking a question that has a lot more questions attached to it. 
Did you install the 10.5 to 1 pistons when you built your home grown 103?  If not which pistons did you use?  What is your current compression ratio?  Which heads are you running?   Are the heads your running decked or had anything done to them or are they stock harley heads?   If they are stock heads then you will need to make sure they can handle the lift from the Zippers 575's.  Somewhere on this great site you will find all the statistics I posted on the 575's from the testing done with them such as lift duration etc.  The cometic gasket is the least of your concerns while you have these outstanding questions.   You will only be changing your compression by a little using the cometic .030 vs. the standard harley .040 or 050.   Once you have answered all these questions its time to call Zippers and ask if you bought the right cam for the setup.

Best of luck with the build,

The heads (103), pistons, crank, etc... are all from the HD SE103 kit (the same one they put on the CVO), part number 29842-03.

I think your going to be really really happy with the setup above and the .030 gaskets, 575's.  This was the exact setup we had in my wifes pumpkin and my wife really hated taking the cam out of her bike she really misses the power improvement.   Your dyno charts should mimic what has already been shown on the site.   I expect the grin factor will also improve

Post the dyno's when your done.

Harry,

Great, so youre saying that you installed the .030 on a CVO motor and had no problems. I was worried that there would be a clearance issue....but I guess I'll be ok.

When I get it together I'll be sure to post my "seat o' the pants" dyno results!  :-)  If I can get it to a real dyno I will do that too.

Thanks,
Randy
