NEW SE Stage IV for M8's
#53
#55
All told, the ballpark was 6K. Stage 4, adjustable pushrods, new crank and cam bolts, spacer kit, tuner, high flow exhaust (header and mufflers), labor, and dyno time. Taxes here are around 9.25, also.
I ended up going with the stage 3 for two reasons: 1. I saw no real value in the stage 4. If you're chasing numbers either set of heads would need to be reworked. The high flow exhaust limits your muffler selection. The stage 4 cam is a poor choice for my riding style. 2. The stage 4 kit needed a 2 week lead time, for ordering. The stage 3 kit was shipped and at the dealer in 2 days waiting for the bike to be dropped off.
The stage 3 cost me 42xx (with a 10 inch windsplitter, so -160'ish)

I see 10 hrs and I see 8 hours...I can't find anyone in the San diego area to do the HD stage III for less then 12 hrs. What's up with mechanics over here...do they just need more time then the rest of the country LOL. Sometimes it sucks to live in California...actually all of our BS EPA craps is starting to weigh on me.
Anyone know any good mechanics in the SD area to install my stage III kit for a reasonable fee?
