Yeah but there is a certain thing to work around. Guys want a S&S v-twin to sound like a S&S/HD v-twin! Those pushrods help maintain the sound.

What they need to understand is all of that goes towards the sound.

sound? i thought you said it was a performance motor heh im just givin you guys shit. still though, as long as it maintained the tazmanian devil firing order it oughta sound exactly the same regardless of where the cams are. actually changing the angle would probably have a higher impact on sound now that im thinking about it

No its a good performence motor that is EPA complient in all 50 states thru like 2015 or some shit. YOu can also get them up to like a 124.

And trust me... the position of the cam, the push rods, the vlv sizes, stroke, all of it... effects the sound. HD and S&S does alot of work to keep the sound just so.

I know the specs on the S&S there is nothing that a pushrod motor is going to do that a OHC of equal displacement and tuning will not do better and more relaibly IMHO.
To be honest if the Money Fairy suddenly dropped by my house their are a couple of tractor powered bike (Confederate Hellcat and Ecosse Titanium)

And I LOVE that sound. Classic. And very tractor like.
