It might be the exhaust, but my vote in on a crappy tune. That cam should be alright @ 10.5, the intake close @ 30 is very close to the S&S 475 & the Wood 222, the 222 is even later if I remember right, that's why the 222 is soft down low. I don't think whoever did the work is up to speed on the M8s, a 117 needs bigger than stock injectors, especially with that big of cam. The HP has pretty much leveled off @ 5K & it should still be increasing all the way to 6K. If you buy it you're going to have to spend some $$ to make it run right!

Your injectors are not holding you back, the 5.5 are good to 125-130 HP, the TB may gain you a little, but the hold up on HP is the RS468. It's a good TQ cam as evidenced by those #s, but it won't flow enough for any more HP, either pick a better cam suited for the engine size or be happy with what you have & just shift at 5K, you'll still probably be able to beat guys with more HP anyway.
