Fat bob 114 stage 1 expectations
Hey everyone, had a question about what to expect from getting a pipe and going stage 1 on my 114. What kind of numbers are most of you guys seeing? On top of this, I'm trying to decide on a good 2-1 for the fat bob. I'm thinking about the road rage, the fab28, a sawicki speed pipe, and a horsepower inc pipe. Obviously I'd like to just go with the road rage and save a ton of money, but if I can really get a lot of extra performance out of the more expensive pipes, I don't mind dropping the cash.
Anyways, just wanna know what you guys have experienced with this bike. Thanks!

Any idea how these bikes respond to a HP cam instead of a torque cam? Also, as a total noob, does a torque cam still give you HP after tune? I feel like the bike has enough torque, just needs to more power at the top.
Harley has the dynos of the torque and hp cam. The torque cam is great, feels like more power everywhere plus it sounds so much better than the stock cam.

The HP cam gives a boost throughout the rev range also, but it's more biased for 4,000+ RPM. The torque cam outperforms it up to 4,000 (in both torque and HP), the HP cam outperforms the torque cam (in both HP and torque) at 4,000-6200 RPM.

Yep, that's what it does, and that's why so many of us like it. It's a fairly massive upgrade.

It's the general consensus on this thread.
There is more than one way to make power, do some research.
