Stock 96 Twin Cam Hp and torque

RE: Stock 96 Twin Cam Hp and torque
ORIGINAL: rde
I was looking through my owners manual the other day and noticed that the listed torque for a stock 96@ 3500 RPM is 92.60 ft-lbs. That seemed rather optimistic, so I thought I'd check around.
At my dealership they had pulled a few stockers on a dyno in 07 at were getting 77.87 ft-lbs @ 3500 with a maximum 0f 62.61 Hp.
That's a pretty big difference. So what is the values for a stock 96? I'd like to know what the ballpark is before I get my bike dyno'd in a couple weeks.

I believe that there can be a big different in Dyno runs and although I didn't get high numbers what I did get was the Tq that peaked at 2,300 rpm instead of 3,000 rpm, lasting thru 4,000 rpm instead of falling off at 3,500 rpm. This is just the difference in the map tune and a Dyno tune, not the stock numbers....it also fattened up the air/fuel mixture up to 3,700rpm where they where almost the same to 6,200rpm.

Here you show exactly what matters. You are making power sooner, lasting longer, and running cooler probably to boot. These are the things that matter.

IF NEED MORE POWER THEY MAKE ENGINE WITH POWER

Also, you will usually find a significant difference in measures taken on different dynoes.
For this reason, before any modification, it's better to measure the vehicle on the same dyno that will be used to test it AFTER the tuning.

I don't think the 92.6 lb-ft is correct. The difference between claimed crank TQ and actual dyno TQ seems to big, around 16%. Something is wrong here.
If you look at Harleys website the stock TC96 is rated 86 lb-ft in the engine. That seems more likely. Then we have ~10% difference between the claimed crank TQ and rear wheel TQ.

That is in line with the 77.87 TQ the dealership measured on the TC 96. Just wanted something to get in the ballpark.
I suppose ideally you want to see your maximum TQ sustained ( somewhat flattened curve ) from about 2500 RPM through 4000+ RPM's rather than see a continued upward slope on the TQ until it reaches maximum around 3500-4000+ RPM's. You want it in the normal RPM range you ride with.
Only the hp curve should continue to slope upwards until peak which would be in the 5000+ RPM's
I think I got it now!

Remember you don't ride a dyno ar a factory posting.
In the end all that matters is perceptionfrom the saddle.
It's only funny till someone gets hurt........................then it's friggin hilarious
