In discussions with them they say... " Conditions and bikes will vary!"
Well I don't think they should vary that much!!

Unless they post the same bike stock runs on the same day on the same dyno those numbers mean nothing. I think your expectations and thier claims are both exaggerated

So...If you were to change something....let's say a cam...and you were told it will return a 25% bump in HP and TORQUE but it ended up with only a 10% gain....would that meet your expectations?
I didn't expect their numbers but I did expect close to the same gains!!

Did they base line your bike before the change and after it on the same dyno? If not then how do you know how much you gained or didn't. Dyno numbers don't mean **** when you are comparing different dyno's under different conditions. It's merely a tuning tool and a way to compare results if you do base runs.

They weren't interested in making it right!

Both bikes had baselines...yes on different dyno's but all done on same day!
Mine saw a 6 hp gain and 7 torque......
Theirs saw 15 hp gain and 17.4 torque....
Way to much difference in my opinion! If I would have gotten half of what they say they gained I would have been happy!

Your experience pushed me away from the RCX header and I went with the PowerDuals. It's a "different" look, but I don't mind it and it sounds pretty damn good with the Rineharts.
