I ran it with my buddies bike tonight. He has an '04 with a ton of work to his engine, and he couldn't keep up. His is a 96" but, has high compression pistons and woods cams (I believe tw-6) he's also 100 lbs lighter than me. I believe his work is more extensive, as his jugs were sent to Zippers for machine work. My other buddy has a Victory, with a 106, and he wasn't even in the picture. So, needless to say, I'm very pleased.
Sorry for the resurrection, but I decided to go with the 4" Rineharts, and without even tuning it, there's a massive difference in low end torque. Fuel Moto has my exact set up, with the Power Vision Tuner, making 95/112! But the kicker is, that it hit's 100lbs. at 2500 RPM's. I ordered the tuner, and will have it on Tuesday.
last week I installed a set of woods 222 cams, due to weather, have not been able to ride much but they do feel stronger at low rpm where I spend most of my time, also valve train is quiet with S&S premium lifters and quickee push rods.
I have always had great luck with the tman 555tqster. Tuned over 200 of them for a Springfield shop alone. Between 110-115tq and 100 by 2500. Anywhere between 95-100 hp. For just a cam bolt in.
Running Woods 555's a few years now in my '13 Limited with adjustable pushrods. V&H Power Duals for '09 app having 18mm O2 ports at heads and Dynojet PCV and Autotuner used after install to tweek program.
I have no problems fully loaded riding 2 up lugging through town at 30 MPH in 6th gear around 1200 RPM's. Will pull up with no hesitation
I have no problems 1 up 55MPH WOT 6th gear to pass easily climbing past 80MPH
I have no problems keeping up with my buddies 110 CVO Ultra 0-120 MPH
And I really like the idle lope that was not present with stock cams
