    I just finished building my 88 Softail. I was wondering what people thought of my combo. It's stock bore, 10.5:1 pistons, EV7 can, most adj pushrods, hi-lift springs, Weber side draft 45 dcoe, Crane Hi4e ignition, and Vance/Hines long shot sure shots. 5°rake, 2" lowered. Has anyone else built anything like this. It seems to run like a scalded dog. Any horsepower estimates

    Well, it sure sounds like a ride to be real proud of! Frankly, the hp is irrelevant if you're happy with the performance, but if you need to know then get it to a shop with a dyno somewhere that will give ya all the numbers you'd ever want.
