Just got my bike dyno'd this past weekend, pulled 92 hp, and 99 ft/lb torque (with a basic off the shelf PC map recommended by Todd). I was impressed. I also was told I definitely would benefit from a tune as my air fuel ratios were all over the place both too rich and too lean. Your numbers seem a little low especially considering you already got a precise tune. How many miles are on your clutch, and is it stock? I wonder if your getting a little clutch slippage ? The stock clutch probably won't be able to handle 100/100 hp/tq of your new kit especially if the clutch has some heavy miles on it. I upgraded to the Barnett "extra plate kit" and a Barnett spring. Rob's Dyno did mine, and he is "the man" with reguards to HD tuning here in New England. Rob advance tunes each individual cylinder . I also have V&H 2" straight shots with Thunder City Monster baffles. Rob commented he sees excellent flow with the TC baffles.
