SBRob. Are U sure they did a full tune or just a down load..

Reason I ask is I only see (2) runs on Ur sheet...

Usually it takes more than 2 runs to do a good tune.. unless there are just tweaking it.

Dave do U mean Andrews 37's..?

Also 85/80 ain't bad..

more important is U can feel the diff..

A pre and post run helps U see what really happened.

Haven't seen any new 103 sheets from our master tuner yet, but he did tell me that they are {just a little above} what the 96'ers make..

His comment is that they're a a good starting point. Still needing STG1 and cams to wake them up and let them breath.

Around here our tuner gets an average on softails - 96'ers

Usually (+), (-) , 2 on numbers below..
Stock averages - 79TQ, 64HP.
Stg1 averages - 84TQ, 70HP
With cams averages 93TQ, 81hp..

I had my 2010 deluxe dyno tuned. It has stage 2 103 with 255 cams, V & H BSL's, SE super tuner pro, SE billet cam support plate and high volume oil pump, and perfect fit push rod kit. I've attached the dyno sheet. Do these #s sound right or is something holding me back. I know the seat of the pants dyno feels real good. Thanks in advance for any info.

Just an observation but from 4 to 6 thousand it looks like it is wanting more air.

Did the dyno guy suggest anything like a big sucker or K&N?

Or are the pipes restrictive?

All they said was that I had a good air/fuel ratio which is indicated by the straight line. They did not mention a different air cleaner. It currently has a SE air filter in it. As far as the pipes go, Im really not sure how restrictive they may or may not be. The pipes have what V & H calls a power chamber or crossover pipe. I am no engine guy which is why Im asking the experts on here.

The pipes are holding you back if you are looking for better numbers. If you like the way it runs and sounds be happy with what you have. The numbers seam right for your build.

Would a 2 into 1 make that much of a difference? Seat of the pants difference?Or would it be minimal?
Would I need to get it dynoed again? Thanks

A good 2 into 1 would make a difference, but not a huge difference as far as "seat of the pants" goes. And yes, you would need to get it tuned again. That's why I say if you are happy with the way it runs, and are happy with the way it sounds then ride it.
