Default Performance question: Stage 1

I have my Street Bob booked in for it's first service next week.
I've decided to go straight for the Stage 1, comprising of V&H Big Radius pipes, Big Sucker A/C and PC111.

My question is, what sort of all-round performance increase can I expect from this?

Low end Torque etc??

you will probably get around a lower 70's for HP and mid to higher 70's for TQ... basically an increase of around 10 pts above stock. It will be noticeable.

What did the stealer quote you
to do the upgrade parts and labor.
I am just curios
I was quoted just over1000 for parts and 390 for labor.
This quote was for the big shot staggered not the
big radius I think the big radius pipes are like 30 dollars more.
Also he quoted me for the vance and hines fuel pack not the pcIII.

I got just around 10+ on both hp and tq. The dyno tune helps as well got another 5 on both with it properly tuned.

To be honest I am not in the US. I'm in the Middle East so all parts have to be ordered and imported. The dealer is quoting the equivalent of $1700. I'm sure this is a total rip off???????

You should get about 15% more hp and about 10% more tq. That equals just about what pauletich said above. It would bring you to mid 70's hp and high 80's tq. Mine's 76/89 with a good dyno tune. I'm asssuming your Bob is an 07.
And yes $1700 is alot but given your location maybe it's fair.

Performance improvements sound good.
Yeah, the outlaw is a bit steep but I;m a big believer in getting what you want or you'll regret it later.
