Portagee: My engine has the prototype from which the kit was developed. I have had no problems with it. It is especially valuable with a stroker as you can use a longer chain. I use a manual tensioner as that was the only solution when I installed it. Check with APE about using the late hydraulic tensioner.  LSL
All motor all the time and a turbo now and then.

that might be what im using. my builder makes all the decisions and i just pay and ride.i can build but why pass up an opportunity to have a proven championship builder with 30 yrs exp. build a motor for next season.i can ride it, he can build it.he promises a streetable 230-240 rwhp bike.
