Just a quick addendum to the above post.  You MUST get the bungs first before you send the pipes though.  The reason is that we get you to put the bungs against the pipes and trace around them where the O2 sensor goes.  That way when we weld them in we know that you have already confirmed that the sensor is not going to get into the head or frame or something else.  This is a biggie.

Appreciate the response fellas, my 2010 FLTRX is currently torn down and getting a fresh bore at 107 with axtell pistons, Deweys Street Pro Heads (compression will be at 10.6-1)  and TMAN 590 cams.  Will be using a D & D Fatcat as well.  My EMS should be here by the end of my build, can't wait to see the results!

Is head work on the new engine all you're doing to it out of the crate?  Have read others saying the initial cams weren't ideal either.  I never ran the specs on one of those engines though so really had no idea how much was accurate and how much was a continued case of dollar-itis.

Two weeks more of withdrawal?  You gonna make it?

The JIMS lifters don't have much of a reputation either....

Oh yeah, didn't even think about that.  Also remember someone writing of problems with an overly small throttle body relative to the displacement.  But don't even know if those engines come with a TB or if that was a shop's choice.

Standard without... 

But I believe you can order them with a carb...

Twolane,,, Last October I started a project to upgrade cams to a set of S&S 640 gear drive cams in my Jims 131, which i've had for a little over three years. Once i got the cam cavity opened up i checked the run-out and measured 14/1000's,, Not good  . Since the motor was slightly over two years out of Jims warranty i called SB Charlie to arrange getting the motor to him for a complete rebuild. Charlie tells me that Jims had a run of bad cranks during the time i purchased the motor and suggest i contact them to see what they would do for me. To my surprise Jims said they would cover the rebuild at no expense, other than shipping cost and labor to install (which i did). Now that i have the motor back from Jim's, the heads are going out to Charlie for a CNC valve job and minor porting since the Jim's heads are already CNC ported. He will also set the heads up for the 640 camshaft. Along with the cam change I will be adding a Fueling oil pump, Fueling cam plate, Woods directional lifters and Smith Bro's push rods. If all goes as planned i should have this up and running by mid February, broke in and ready for our anual road trip to Death Valley in March. Sending the ECM off to Rev Performance today and looking forward to seeing how well she runs with this setup, which is a big relief since i dont have to hassle with a dyno tune.. The Death Valley trip will defiantly be a good road test for the EMS.. and your write up will help me get through this install.... more to come...

A lot of hassle to get to a good place.  But it does sound like a good place is where you'll end up.  Nice improvements being done there.  If your experience with the EMS product continues what several have seen so far you'll be pleased.  Your circumstance is the type where an option like this can shine too.  Guy buttons up a nice engine build and just wants have it ready to ride.  No delays for dyno scheduling or lost time actually riding the engine break-in because you have to collect data logs on tedious runs to dial it in yourself. 

All the boring details notwithstanding; it's got to make an engine build a lot more fun.  You can look forward to just firing it up and riding it when you're done bolting things together and wiping off finger prints.  Those first hours on a new build when things often aren't tuned well can cause some tension.  Warranted or not it's a time that's not as much as it should be.
