Default What hp/tq numbers should i expect?

Im going to install my pc-iii today when i get home
and im planning on getting it on a dyno in the next few weeks.

Can anyone guess what numbers are typical of my setup?

My bike:
2007 street bob
96"
d&d 2 into 1 (std baffle)
arlen ness big sucker
pc-iii

would it be better to use a cover on my a/c or leave it off?

Magic 8 ball says cover OFF you will make 72HP and 91 Tq
If your tuner knows his schtuff..... Maybe just maybe 74HP and 94Tq

yeah you should be right in the middle of normal stage 1 numbers

low 70s hp and high 80s low 90s tq.

the real difference is gonna be in the responsiveness of the bike

I suppose it depends if you want a slightly bigger number for bragging rights or the real number that you'll have on the road when you put the filter back.

75/85 if you have a good tuner, I can't see getting 90 out of a stage 1, I was 70/83.

I havent installed the pc-iii yet so im hoping to feel some difference when i test her out later....

I was just thinking maybe i should wait on the dyno and add cams first.
Would cams improve the dyno numbers?

Im not gonna big bore build this motor until it needs to be rebuilt....

Cam will make a very noticeable difference and should add +/- 10 to your hp and tq numbers (on top of the gains you'll get from the stage 1 upgrade).
