Dam, that sounds good!! I'd be anxious to see/hear a video of it out on the highway.
Any figures on drop of fuel mileage? Runs cooler?

Thanks, I will make on for you next week. As far on fuel I was getting 36-38 on hwy now we are looking at 27-30 according to how hard I am on it. But it is loud and fast, wicked fast!

Sounds nice. 411 cams? Who makes them.

Does 211 ring a bell, does it pull real hard in the upper RPM range. I know the SE211 cam has a pretty lumpy idle and pulls real hard in the mid to upper RPM range.

Default Loss of torque?

Not looking to complain, but with the Supertrapp SEs, new headpipe, SE AC, PC V installed, I seem to have a loss of torque after my TG heats up. I have to give it more throttle at a dead start, as I did with stock, but there is a definite lag for a few seconds until it gets moving. It's almost like a timing lag until it hits a certain rpm. Typical? Would different slip-ons make a difference or does this warrant a cam change as you others have discussed?

Boom; I don’t know that slip-on’s will make a difference in your acceleration. I have too have Jack Pot Pipes, PC-V and a SE A/C but I also have a TW6-6 cam and V&H Ovals and have not experienced any lag or bog upon acceleration. As a matter of fact, it’s just the opposite, since the installs my TG just wants to take off.

I just thought of something else that may make a difference; ever since Harley came out with the EITMS, I got into the habit of cracking the throttle before releasing the clutch. I do this consistently at each light winter & summer even though the EITMS did not kick in. I do this so that I develop a standard routine and don’t forget to do it when the system does kick on. This would be a simple thing to experiment with before you make any mod changes.

Keep us posted on how you make out.

Thanks. Yeah, I got self conscious about the EITMS and do give it throttle before letting the clutch out. Still lags. I was told at one time that certain slip-ons will drop low-end torque but enhance acceleration. These SEs probably don't have that characteristic. Time will tell. As the temperature increases here in the east, I see what you guys in the hi temp areas have been talking about with excessive engine heat.
