from a 111 CID motor,i think your charts pretty much prove my point.HP/TQ that a VERY mild 95" TC or 96" evo could out do.very surprised scott from hillside hasn't chimed in,he knows where the 585 should be set,compression wise

Mine is great and isn't 'flat', regardless of what anyone says. In the meantime I'll enjoy the ride with a smile!
You mean the LC 124"-not aware of a touring 143".

You're right about the LC. When the T143 was announced it was described as being made for the Touring range - I think that bit was tongue in cheek!
