gotta ask what did it cost to have the deck zero'd and the heads done. I have the xxx carb and 585 cam with the thunderheart ignition on my pitbull already but wanted to get some motor work here real soon. Just wanting a idea what everyone else is getting for shop time cuz the local shop here in ohio suggested instead on doing all the mill work just put 10:1 compression pistons in. Is that a good idea or are the results the same or should i tell him to pound sand? thx for all the help

I can't quite remember what the cylinders cost to mill/hone,but I think a couple hundred. I did order an intake from the dealer also so that added to the cost. As far as the heads, if you are going to do those,contact John Sachs for a quote on what you need done. Cost on those will depend on what you have done.
I think I figured my static compression at 10.44

I can get it for you later today when I get home. You need to make sure you have clearance between your cylinders if you zero deck. I am not sure if they machined my intake when I had the cylinders done. But you could tak your cylinder measurements and call s&s and they could get you the right one

You should contact John Sachs he has another option I used. I bought another set of heads to send him but I think with shipping, the heads and machine work on them it was around $1000

Just picked up the dog from the shop today. Had it dyno tuned and pretty happy with the results. ended up with .0295 int. and a .080 main.

That is nice......
Good all round grunt and power on demand....
Congratulations on the build....
