Those are the numbers they gave me verbally, and on the printout they provided me. The shop that did the dyno on the bike has a good reputation in this area.
Any chance of putting up your dyno sheet? Not calling BS or anything, but when I had the 255's I was at 100 tq at 2000, and then took a nose dive around 4200 rpms. I can only imagine what your torque line looks like. I maxed out at 110tq before switching cams.
Lately I'm having a difficult time posting. None of my replies are going through.
Anyway, I pulled the sheet, and the numbers I gave yesterday were incorrect. The tech gave me the numbers over the phone while they were still working on the bike (I was there for about 2 hours, but couldn't stay the whole time). The final numbers are 89.75 HP, 109.51 Torque.

Yeah, 109tq sounds a bit more inline. I kind of thought that's what you meant but I try not to assume.
As for the tq curve...wow does that cam drop off early AND quick. Also, what's up with the timing? The real squiggly part of the tq curve. How can a tuner show you a tune with that, and feel good about it?
I agree with Vic on this one. Something isn't right, 129tq is up there with 117" motors. I was under the impression that the pro pipe was a horsepower pipe and not so much for torque?
So being new to some of this, what kinds of questions should I pose to the tuner? I'm very happy with my performance so far. Took her out for a couple of decent rides since I picked her up on Sunday, and notice a huge difference.

If you're happy, that's all that matters. You paid, and you have to ride it. Enjoy it.
I am happy with the ride ... but I'm always learning. I don't fully understand the dyno results. I understand the increase over stock (very noticeable), but would like to become a little more knowledgeable on reading these results.
