I'm sure theres 10-15% more power left in there if it was actually tuned. We ran out of $$$ before we had a chance to work on that.Yeah man thanks for that input! Yall did a great job putting it together. I may swap out the heads in the distant future, but for now a good tune I feel will be just fine. I may be reaching out to you with some questions as I get further into the build, if that's cool with you!
BTW what weight oil did you use? With so few miles on the motor, when I get it street legal I'll probably put about another 1k on it and do a drail / fill with some Redline / high quality synthetic.
