Default 100 HP Barrier

Well to all of you that say "who cares about the numbers as long as it rides good" please just move on to another thread nobody needs to hear your condescending holyier than though speaches.

Okay I'll stop being an ***, some people just drive me mad.

I have the 2012 Dyna Wide Glide with 103"
Performance Machine Air Cleaner
Thunderheader Exhaust, heat wrapped
TW-555 Cams
SE Tuner
Dyno

Got me to 92 HP. Any suggestions to brake that 100 HP barrier? I know head work, sounds expensive though, I have already spent enough.

Thanks fellas, ride safe.

I know on the older motors putting thinner head gasket boosts comp. Im guessing they also make those for 103s should get you few more hp.

From a different post, you mention that you got 106 tq. I'd say that was mighty fine... Do you really want to go 135 mph, or do you just want to roll on hard and fast at streetable speeds?

You start your post by insulting people before asking your question??? You haven't even been on here a month and you're already pissing people off. Then you go on to answer your own question. You KNOW headwork will get you over the 100 mark. Anything you do is going to cost you money, so if you feel like you've spent enough, keep your 92 and quit bitching.

Put in a S&S 126 or a SE120R

Maybe a 103 SE stage 2 or 3 kit, you basically did the stage 1 and cams. Like you say, head work and high comp pistons. Have the throttle body cleaned up by Fuel Moto. The idea is just get more mixure in and exhaust out = HP.

You say HP - do you care more about HP over torque? Are the TW-555 cams a high RPM cam that focuses on HP?

You've had it. HP+TQ=$.

I'll also bite on your hard-*** attitude...The numbers are pointless, especially HP. Sure, you could stick some cams in that might mean you get a peak of power over 100HP at 7000rpm but that would be useless and reduce the rideability at all the rest of the rev range.

Why do you consider 100 HP a barrier?

Sounds like you're more interested in bench racing than you are in a good street build so why not just lie and say you have 100HP, it will make you feel better and wont cost you a dime.
