HP for 103 engine
#1
#3
Welcome to the forum from central Texas.
A stage I upgrade is only going to translate into a 5-10% increase in power. If you are really looking to improve the HP and TQ you have to upgrade to at least a stage II. Your numbers sound reasonable for a 103 engine with a stage I. Could they be better? Possibly. Could they be worse? Possibly. They're in the ballpark.
You have a tuner that can help enrich the AFR, cool the engine and provide a limited increase in power. It is my opinion that a dyno tune with only a stage I is not necessary. It's perfectly fine to do it and there is no harm but it is trying to get maximum power from a set up that isn't designed for maximum power. Will the money spent for a dyno tune provide such a benefit in HP and TQ over the tuner alone to justify it's cost? Not in my opinion.
After a stage II, I believe a dyno is highly recommended.

Just had my 12 ultra dynoed and it had 79 hp ,can't remember the torque. Arlen Ness big sucker after market head pipe 2-1-2, Bassani mufflers with 2" cores and Power Vision tuner. They told me it would make more power with bigger cores in mufflers but I would rather be able to listen to the radio if l want.
