Default Horse power and torque........

What do you consider to be respectable Dyno numbers? What is considered to be a high level of horsepower and foot pounds of torque?

If I was worried about HP I would just buy a 'Busa and be done with it.

ODS,
I think that anything running over 100 and 100 are considered to be very respectable. Maybe next year I can be doing the same. I am thinking of going with the 95 inch kit with 45 mikuni carb, those really expensive HD heads and whatever else it takes.

I'm confused...Alaska Bobber said in another thread that I would have a hard time beating his brother's sporty since I am only running 105 / 100. ONLY?! [sm=dontgetit.gif]

Your numbers are good. Be proud of those. If that Sportster can beat you, it sure isn't even close to stock. I think the smaller sportster motors wind up faster, similar to a small block compared to a big block motor. You got no worries. I wish I could post the same numbers as you are producing.
