Bike's getting dyno'd at the dealer now. I don't have a lot of experience with them but it's the closest dyno to me. I'm anxious to see the results, because like I said in the first post in this thread, I'm not feeling the difference I expected to. I'll update later today, I hope.

Sounds like a "Drag Race" setup where ya wide open throttle it off the line for 1/4 mile then shut er down...

Wow, how far back did you dig to find that reply that I debunked because he misread the dyno chart??? I should be at ~100ftlb at 1900-ish. I don't know what the fvck @poprivit was talking about.

Not to pop your balloons but to get 100 ft lbs of toque below 2000 rpm is really strong it in most all 103 builds.. More reasonable might be 100@2500...

I had the same thoughts as you.. Here's the link to my Dyno run when it was a 103"@10.16:1 comp, stage II heads and a Woods TW 5-6 cam..

Dyno tech says the bike gets to 2500 and falls flat on its face...so, that verifies my butt dyno, but now why is that happening?

I appreciate the offer, brother, but I'm convinced it's not the tune. I have the utmost respect for Lucas at FuelMoto.

My plan of attack is:
  • Check fuel pressure (done, 59psi so I'm good)
  • Check compression
  • Reload stock tune then do a fresh flash of the FuelMoto tune
  • Test ride
  • Send some logs to FuelMoto
If things still suck at that point, I'll crack the cam chest. I was really careful about cam timing so I don't think that's the issue, but you know what, I wouldn't bet any money on it.

Well, hitting a dead end. Compression and pressure numbers are all good and FuelMoto reviewed a log and commented that it looked "surprisingly normal" given the **** power I have.
