Maybe not. As long as it pulls hard from the start and carries through, big numbers aren't a concern. My main goal is to flatten out my torque curve.

I'm already at 91/115. I didn't think 115/125 was too ambitious considering similar setups and what they are getting. I already have an 09 decatted head pipe, RCexhaust 4.5" slip ons, SE heavy breather, and Woods 777 cams.

Default Straight out of the box


Once again, straight out of the box. Runs great. Just like it should have come from MoCo to begin with.

That's a damn nice curve. Stage 5 kit and nothing more I assume?

I believe all the dealer around here does to dyno tune is upload a canned map and print off a sheet. Roeder seems to have a pretty solid rep. Still not sure if I should go 10:2:1 or 10:5:1 on compression though...... I will have to discuss more with Roeder.
That would be determined by the cam....
