Looks like tuning is about completed Thnx to SLOWHAWK - he really saved my ***...might be back by the weekend! Still way below my power targets (430-440rwhp, 500 torq @ 8lbs), but at least its running. I'll be happy to get more than 2000 miles without probs... I won't bore everyone with what further probs we found since my last update, but I can understand why I'm not getting the power with my builder's capabilities! I won't let these guys put air in my tires any more...R/

 

time to sell and roll your losses into something even sicker!!!

 

5 days and its still running!

 

Oops...spoke too soon! leaky, leaky...not sure where its comin from but there's a steady oil leak. R/

 

You have it back in your possesion? At least that's promising! How's she run and how's she feel? Other than the whole leaky leaky thing!

 

drool

 

Runs and feels great! I'd forgotten how loud it is...I leave for work @ 5:45am and my wife tells me she can hear me for a few miles. I might have to deal with that and quiet it down, but I have to admit I like when the Harley guys can hear me comin Plenty of SOTP power. I'll have to make time to get to the track and see what I really have...no more babying it tho. R/

 

It's about time brother!! Glad to hear you have it back in your possession...forget the leaky leaky problem and just fill it with a quart of oil everyday and be done with it!! Now we need some vids!!
Every project truck from last year is almost finished!

 

Thnx Julien...I'll post something up after Memorial Day

 

Julien, here's a crappy burnout vid...my camera man was having trouble deciding when to start the vid! It was costly tho...snapped a rocker (comp 1.75) on #8 - broke off the retainer ring that surrounds the bearing & wristpin...I'll post some pix 2mrw.
Also, drivin up thru the mtns with short hard bursts and lots of up & down shifts, tranny temp lite came on. This is a fresh rebuild 4L80. I was told that boosting up hills is considered abuse. I gotta admit I didn"t build a forged motor, upgrade the rr and swap to a built 4L80 to drive like Miss Daisy! I've decided this isn't going to be my daily driver anymore ...Now I have to decide whaqt to buy instead.
