Those numbers seem accurate to me with only pipes, ac and tuner.

If he had cams he would be pushing 90 hp and 100 tq. I haven't had mine dynoed yet but the shop I go to said thats about what I will see with what I have with a 96".

90#'s - 93#'s of TQ from 2k to 4500rpms is what a lot of others would like to get.

I've not seen any 96'er with ST1 and just bolt in cams do that yet in a Softail.




.
The scale is off in his sheet thats why it looks skewed. Numbers are typical of a stage I 96".

Had my 2012 Heritage dyno tuned on Thursday...the bike runs well but I'm a bit dissappionted with the numbers. I thought the 103 motor would have put out a bit higher numbers.

The bike runs good and the tuner eliminated most if not all of the decel popping.

The bike has a HD stage 1 intake, SE Pro Super Tuner and Bassani 3" slip ons w/2" baffels.

The blue line was before the tuning and the red line was after the tuning...69.39rwhp/82.84rwtq SAE

Those numbers seem a little low. The guy who did my tune has seen multiple 103's, and all tuned to about 100 ft lbs tq with a stage one.

Might be that the slip on's he's running are still more restrictive than a full exhaust.....?

Are the catalytic converters in the header pipes of the 2012's?
