Default RE: How Much Hp/TQ is required too...

ORIGINAL: Frank Castle

I have a 95 big bore kit and I am having whats called a high comp (compression) build done to it.
The horse power will be streetable (around 93-95) and down in the earlier portion of the power band / RPM range
(I aint going racing)
but the tourque will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 111 to 112.
Good numbers.I know the kit uses different cams obviously, (chain drive remains though, bugs supposidly worked out on that)
forged pistons, adjustable pushrods, compresssion releases, hardly any head work.
I will get some more specifics later,
but for know its the build that I feel will be very streetable and usable in the range where most of us ride.
Frank, if you don't mind,
would be be a little more specific on the parts and pieces
that you are using to produce these numbers with no headwork??

93-95 HP
111 to 112 torque.

Impressive.
Especially that torque number.

Yes I am xxx. Yes indeed.

112 torque - that is a stroker crank in addition to
a lot more frogskins in headwork etc.

maybe...

Could very well be as simple as a typo/brainfart/beerorthree.

I have a HQ 95in. with full head work, I finanly got the "butt dyno" dialed in over the weekend.

The bike runs very well, and crankin it hard in 2nd and 3rd will fully top out my suspension.

the forks will pop as it hits full thottle! but i havnt tried to do a wheelie.
I was riding though a wet patch of road the other day and I rolled though in 2nd, as i went to dryer roadI rolled on the throttle and the bike started to slide out to the right with all the torque!

I wont make any speculation on power, but I should dyno to give this commuity some "real" numbers to throw around!

mentor, you don't mention what machine you are workin with.
Carbeurated?? FI??

"butt dyno" dialed in"??
What do you mean?? jetting?? SERT?? PC111??

The community here does have a lot of numbers to go by.
Please dyno your machine, and add the info here for us.

What mods are you runnin with??
Other than the HQ headwork you mention??

I am curious, cause I am debating which package
to go with to upgrade my machine,
even though I am already fully toppping out my suspension
in all gears.

i dont know how much ride time you have, but by the sounds of it you dont have a lot. i would start with more time riding before i added alot of power, but if you must add power you can find all you want in some good head work i broke the 100/100 mark with out braking the bank spending most of my money in the heads

I have a 06 Dyna FXDWG have added SE Air Cleaner, V&H Radius Pipes, and a Fuel Pack (forget which brand). I believe I make Mid to High 70s in terms of Hp/TQ numbers. I am wondering how much hp/tq you need to be able to burn rubber without having to push down on the bike and, or rising your front in off the ground a lil, I'm not talking wheelie not going to do that, but if the front end raises up a ft or so on a hard take off I think that'd be kinda cool. Anyway do the 100/100 set-ups provide that power and if so whats the best route to achieve that power?
I havent done any burnouts with my 06 but when had my 1996 with a se 4 cam micky carbit dynoed at 68 hp &74 trq and it was no prob leaving rubber. just wind her up good and dump the clutch.Also i think the burnouts where holding the brake is cheating .Any bike can do a smokey burnout using brakes.And no I didnt use brakes at all
