No headwork? I really want to do the cams/headwork at the same time to just pay the dyno once....but it sure would be awesome to do this in stages.
Are you happy with the 54's? I'm leaning really hard toward those, the 7H's or the Tman 590's.....

Awesome. Well...if you yank the cams, hit me up! Some savings on a used set will sway my choice!
From what I've read...the cams/headwork are supposed to make the most difference so I figured I'd start there and when it needs more, go with a BB kit and larger cam. Damn addicting I tell ya.

I was asking what you are looking at on the sheet to tell if it was slipping wiseazz. 
It does feel like it slips under hard acceleration though.
As far as the tune goes, I dont know what youre getting at, but it runs perfect. Pulls hard all the way to redline, no decel pop, night and day difference from motor without cams and dyno. If it didnt have the power, I wouldnt think the clutch would slip as you say it is....right?

My buddy has a TH on a stock fatboy, and it kinda reminds me of my piped(LRD)4 stroke honda 450r. I'm not saying that it will sound like a honda, but I think most people that know what I'm talking about will agree. My quad has been called the "chopper in the woods" and sounds pretty bada$$! Don't forget when you do any motor work, the overall sound of the exhaust will change.
To me, 2 into 1's indeed sound "different" and take some getting used to.
But after getting used to it, they sound so "sporty and racey" that it ain't a bad thing at all. But ya gots to have a motor that'll compliment the pipe.
The standard Rienhart 2 into 1, is likely the lowest rated 2 into 1 out there (no offense to anyone). They sound good and improve performance, but not as good as many other 2 into 1's.
Now the Bub 7, 2 into 1 is a high rated pipe (go figure). Way better made than the traditional rienhart 2 into 1. Nice looking too!
I like my Fatcat, but there are others that are just as good and might even sound better. I have no regrets running this pipe though.

That didn't look like clutch slip to me. Smoothing number wasn't present, but I'd bet it was set low on those passes. The effect was too consistant along the entire curve. Clutch slippage don't do that.
