Can anyone answer some questions for me. I just joined the forum and had some questions on my new ride. I just got my 91 fxrs from the shop and had some work done to her. It has 1340cc evo with S&S super Stock Heads and 10:1 pistons, S&S super e carb, Headquarters HQ-28 cam, Heads ported and polished with 3 angle valve job and stainless valves and heavy duty springs, and ignition upgrade.
Does anyone have similar mods and if so how much HP and TQ can I expect? Thanks.
I was told around 80hp/90tq. I was hopeing for 100/100 but She goes great anyway.
Did you have your bike dyno tuned at the shop? That is the only way to maximise performance and find out how much HP/TQ your bike gives. If you go to the Tech forum here and then the engine section there are a couple of threads about 100HP from an 80", also here. You need to do more than bolt stuff on!
Cams, re bore, new machined heads, new high comp. pistons are not a bolt on!
If you wanted 100/100 you should have coordinated that from the outset with your engine builder! You can't 'hope', you have to invest. It doesn't come easy, as the links I posted earlier indicate.

A 2-1 exhaust will give some off-idle torque and 2-3 HP increase...The 2-1 has a scavenging effect on removing the exhaust gases during the exhaust stroke. You can find used 2-1's on Ebay for a good price all day long!

My experience with a 2-into-1, on the same bike and dyno testing before and after, is that HP was the same, but low/mid range torque was around 15% better. In addition the bike runs much smoother and sweeter so is greatly improved.
Thanks for the info, I am going to have the bike dyno tuned. The dealer in Maine charges $150 Im just waiting for more miles to be put on the bike she is still not fully broken in. I don't want to wind it out quite yet. I have adjusted the carb and timing but the dyno will dial it in more efficently.
