All I know is I am happy with it. Yes she is noisier but much nicer. Once I figured out I had a vacuum leak for the stupid EPA petcock all is good. Bypassing that was so nice. I will also say that Dale Sanders who did my carb did such a good job. I have tried so hard to get this carb to caugh or hickup at any speed or any temp and it will not do it.

My Evo runs much better than my twin cam with the EV27 in her. I have gear driven cams in my twinkie (TW37) and sometimes wish I had bought an Evo bagger instead! Higher the revs,harder the Evo pulls!!
