Default Dyno Tune results

I had my 08 Heritage w/ SE A/C V&H BSS and SERT Dyno Tuned yesterday and the results are 74.0 Power and 84.4 Torque. Bike seems to run fine, but on deceleration it sounds "different" than it did. It's hard to explain but something like a turbo diesel pickup decelerating. Kind of a booooosh sound. No power loss or anything and if I hit the throttle it doesn't hesitate. Sound normal to you guys?

Good numbers there, HP is same as my old Sportster, have fun!
You got to know the high flow air cleaner does sound different than the stock one, I don't too worry.

Thing is I already had the stage 1 upgrades before the Dyno. So the sound difference is definately due to the Dyno Tune.. I'm thinking it's just that I'm so used to hearing it the way it was. Who knows.

usually the popping sound on decellaration is the extra fuel thats not being burned in the cylinder going down into the pipes and exploding, they probably tuned your bike to run a bit richer than it had been.............no worries...............u should hear the noises mine makes with the hooker pipes spitting and popping on decellaration.

It isnt popping. Man I wish I could explain the sound better. It's more like a soft booosh, booosh, booosh, booosh, booosh. Ever stick your head in a long concrete drain pipe for rain runoff and yell into it as a kid? How it kinda goes Booosh Booosh with a kinda mellow vibrating sound.. Okay, I'm done trying to explain it. LOL

Are you sure it's a booosh, booosh, booosh and not a bwooosh, bwooosh, bwooosh or even a booowsh, booowsh, booowsh?
