You have to remember that number is taken under controlled conditions. The run was done probably at a drag strip. No wind residence. The rider weighted a whopping, 135 pounds.

Your run was done in real life conditions and with your weight and all, your only 5MPH off the advertised speed.

Why the heck did you get the Stage 1 download when you DON'T have any stage 1 components?

Mine has a SE air cleaner and SE II slip ons = Stage 1 download.

Ask you dealer. I think with your changes you need the new map.

You can change the air cleaner or change your pipes and not need the new map. If you change the two, you need the Stage 1 download.

Stage 1 is a recalibration map from HD made specifically for HD Screamin' Eagle intake and high flow slip on mufflers. HD makes several different intakes. The "Heavy Breather" intake and "Race" slip on mufflers are less restrictive than the "regular stage 1" or the "ventilator" intake and the "street legal" mufflers. The XiED do not recalibrate the map in open loop for the increase airflow besides learned fuel values which are not a 1 to 1 ratio.
