My Stage 4 vs my buddies Stage 3. Both 2018 SG's and both built at the same shop.

Thanks very much for posting. Do you know which tuners are on the bikes?

Wow, that sheet is quit a bit off from the one that FM has advertised on the web-site:

As I stated above, I have a 2-1-2 exhaust. You have to have a 2-1 exhaust to get those numbers. I also had too small of an air cleaner when this run was made. I'm not chasing numbers so I'm good with my current standing.

I wasn't pointing out the peak numbers. Your run across the graph (everywhere) compared to the FM run looks really bad. See how the FM graph is really smooth and builds power as the RPM increases. Yours is way off from that.

Did you get another tune/sheet after you changed the exhaust and intake? Post that one up.

I have a month to go till my 60
Days are up so I was gonna call my dealer and and ask if I build the motor and buy the parts from them if they'll put it on my factory warranty or do their techs have to do it. If their techs have to do it I wanna buy the parts and have them install em later when it's shitty and wet outside.
So, was it worth it? The weather is now crap, so what happened....need an update, Cheers!
Ride safe.
