Here are the dyno sheets for the earlier post "103 Build". I had the bike re-tuned and dyno today by Bob Thoma in Whitehall, WI. This guy is unbelievable, he will not quit until the tune is perfect. I drove 2 1/2 hours to see him because my head porter Don (Heads by Dewey) recommended him. After seeing him work I would have driven 5 hours. Anyway, now that the bike is right it is Awesome...... Check out the dyno sheets.
I am glad we have a truly good tuner who can shed some light that the many will listen to even more so than just the average and clueless members in here who offer help all over the place as far as really being in know.
We all have opinions and Ideas and try to help, BUT,, Were mostly not trained to the wisdom of (what and how to do dyno's).. but having Ur knowledge and wisdom is a big plus to this thread.

Thanks again Oct1949 or Big Tom....
Thanks, I appreciate that. It bugs me when I see people getting taken advantage of by shotty dyno operators. So when I see a sheet that doesn't look right, I call it out.
I mean NO disrespect to anyone if I make a negative comment about a sheet. If I do comment on a sheet, it's because I see somehting that is now right about it, and I want people to be aware if they are not getting what they are paying for.
Again, since I start this thread, I really dont know how to answer the members in here who say they do only a stg1 without Cams or Head-work on there other wise stock 88/96 Softail and the tuner they go to say's hey, We're really lucky cause we got a really good tune on Ur bike and we got 95 # of TQ and 90 HP.
First thing that pops in my mind is the tuners are only blowing up the sheets to make themselves look good as they are trying to drum up business. Yepper I seen that in here
But I've read some member in here those who fully believe they can achieve that cause they have done it.
Some times I just what to call BS on them but again I dont want to Pi$$ anyone Off..
After reading a lot on the net and looking at hundres of Simple bolt in cams along with STG1 I have found most 96er's make low to mid 90's TQ and low to mid 80's HP..
IMO anyone that reports much over 90-95 TQ and 80-85 HP on Stg1 with only bolt in cams and no head work on a 96'er motor is not worthy of giving My time to answering or giving comments to.
Am I wrong for thinking that?? or is there some reality to what I've and Learned over the Yrs..
CARE to say what Ur best numbers U can remember has been on a STg1 only 96''er "B" motor and also what Ur best Stg1 and bolt in cams only motor made, TQ and HP wise I mean... then Maybe Ur thoughts on what the average numbers is also for the above.
I only ask this questions so it will put a lot of minds to rest in here. Instead of some thinking they got the royal shaft when they got a tune...
When I find my dyno chart, I will figure out how to post it but with a basic stage 1 setup and bolt in Woods 777 cams, my numbers were 94 hp and 96 tq if I recall correctly. Promise to post my dyno sheet when I locate it....
