Ask the tuner to explain the funky part of the curve between 3400 and 4000; you have something going on there. Clutch slipping? Tire loosing grip? You shouldn't be seeing that drop between 3200 and 3400. I don't know how you ride but I would like to see the curve move to the left; more compression will do that. I think TMan recommends compression for that cam between 9.5 and 10.5; the higher the better. You didn't say but if the motor is 96", your static compression is about 9.2.

Not knocking your upgrade or the numbers; just saying that with a little more compression, you could see 100+TQ, mid 90sHP and torque coming on earlier. I would still be talking to the tuner about that funky section if the power curve.

What gear for the recorded pull? How many pulls?

I run have run TMans 590 and his 525; both excellent cams but they do like more compression as he recommends.

I am getting 84 hp and 94 ftlbs from a 96" in my softail with S&S 510 cams and stock heads, that was with stage 1 AC, and bassani road rage pipe.. seems like it may be too much cam, is throttle response good or a little lazy or hesitant?
