hmmm ... good numbers , anything above 100 looks good to me. But just saying ,,, stage 4 ,,, hmmm I would expect better, but what the heck would I know. Cam? AC? Exhaust? something is holding that thing back. I would think Stage 4 would be NASA material and put that bike in orbit. But like I said , what do I know, I have not even started my engine mods. And I am not familiar with a Hillside stage 4, never saw one.

OH MY GOD!!!! What a freakin jump in HP....and a much broader TQ band!!! Guess it wasn't the wood 8 cam afterall.
Looks like HILLSIDE worked their magic on those heads!!
I would imagine that you are pleased with the result. And--because JD's tuned the bike--we don't have to hear any of those happy dyno theories that people constantly spew about a certain tuner that tunes most of HILLSIDE's fuel injected builds. Before and after--same tuner--same dyno---that helps for an accurate comparison.
wow--just a little surprised at how much of an increase there really is---R&R is a well known and respected builder----but i guess there really is something to be said about hand porting the "old fashion"way. --well done HILLSIDE for helping this guy out.
Congrats ledfoot. glad all your troubles have been resolved. enjoy the ride.
