I bought the kit from my Morgan dealer and he got it from Morgan. And the missing parts from the kit my dealer bought from S&S.

This is BS, you need to talk to Chris at S&S to get the correct info. Stage ll will get you around 10HP and 21 torque. Also the 58mm throttle body that Morgan charges you for and is supplied in their Stage ll kit is worthless, as the ECU that comes with Morgan's kit is programmed for the stock 52mm unit and is locked, so you can't tune for the larger 58mm throttle body if you wanted to.


Tim, according to my dealer this stage 2 is a new kit that includes Cams upgrade as well it took the factory a week to structure and finalize the price for it before the pass it to me, as it wasn't offered before.
(According to my dealer) !!??
I my self find the 30 hp is way high. I am sure RWHP is less.

has anyone on TM gotten a stage 3 at this point? I have heard there are a number of stage 2s, but wondered how crazy that huge boost in price compares to its performance levels and if its even usable anymore.

I still feel for that price you would be just as well dropping a larger engine into the car or fabricate lighter paneling. Where is Colin Chapman when you need him?

That ismy thought. I figured it might make more sense to add lightness.

I think I would fall into the Stage 3 category.
The costs were around $7,300 dollars.
Maybe buying a brand new 132CI and selling off the original motor would make more sense if money was no object?

I'm having the ECU tune upgrade next week since I have now broken in the new motor parts. An S&S authorized dealer has been able to open up the Morgan programming to enable timing changes too. (he has many old S&S tuning programs)

My machine has had no problems with the greater torque of the 128CI.

I'll send more feedback after the new tune is installed.


Here are the final pictures of the motor build.

JVS, I installed the roller rockers and am thinking about the 569 cams. Did the new heads come with the relief for the roller rocker pushrods? I was told by S&S that I could use stock heads but would need a new programable ECU for the 569 cams. Was your information the same? Thanks

Yes, those are exactly what I was trying to find as far as the valve covers go. I have to say, I'm digging the clear cover as well.

Were those custom made covers or is that like an off the shelf part from Confederate? I'd been trying to locate some but haven't had much luck. I'm not terribly experienced in the motorcycle world anyway, but would love some more info on those.
