Had it dynoed today.
Well needless to say I was dissapointed in the turn out, I don't have a scanner but I will be honest with ya, here's the #'s, 75hp and 92tq, the tuner is avery honest guy so here's what he had to say, first of all those V&H's pipes are killing you, any other pipe would have been better, your rings are not seated as of yet, the guy helping out said he heard the rings flutter, ha also said I could get 5 more hp but I didn't see any since in beating up a new engine to do that, thetq was pretty good thiough.

How many miles do ya have on it now? I read that you recently did the ring seating runs.
Also, what compression did they set you up with?
As duals go, the V&H aren't that bad. What slip-ons do you have with them?
Carb of fuelie & how did ya tune it?

RE: Had it dynoed today.
Those #s arent bad, a little low on peak horsepower, but what does the curve look like? Probably makes 90ft.lbs. all the way across which is what you really want. I had mine on the dyno again today, and was not real disapointed when it only made 84hp ( it made 87 the first time), because the torque curve is real flat. I would have gone with a bigger cam than the 203s, the 204s, or the Andrews 37s (which is whats in mine) would get you a few more ponies, and work good with stock valve sizes and modest compression.

It should have 9.4 1 compression, I have to much heads and not enough cam sort of speak.

I dont think the pipes are holding you back.
If you have a 9.4 to one engine those #s are realistic.
I think after 500 miles the dyno #swill look alot better.
I jetted my bike too rich when I installed my 95 kit and It took over 400 miles to seat the rings!
the cranking cylinder presure went from 175 psi at 50 miles or so, to 200 lbs at 375 miles.
try it again after some seat time.
