Pulled cover, tensioner shoes 1/3 worn down. Bit the bullet and pulled it apart. Installed new SE Hybrid camplate and oil pump. Pulled the upper end and decarboned the heads. Replaced the valves (just for something to do) and installed .030 cometic headset. Replaced lifters with stock HD and went with the S&S Easy Start 551 Torque Cams.

I'm running my own SERT program on it with Rinehart TD's and SE a/c.

I don't need any more torque power than this thing has right now. It will scream (fully loaded with two up) dangerously quick.

Fuel mileage picked up (haven't nailed down the increase amount yet).

Can't say enough good words for the Easy Start Cams. I bet you a hundred dollars to a doughnut that every Harley Davidson Factory Engineer wishes to hell that they would have thought of this design. I sure wish I would've.
