'13 Heritage Softail Classic Stage 1 Dyno Numbers
Good Morning,
Over the weekend I got my Stage 1 update done to the '13 Heritage and got an 11% HP increase and 5% torque increase.
Before - Max Power 62.71 HP Max Torque 79.68 Ft-Lbs
After - Masx Power 69.95 Max Torque 83.45 Ft-Lbs
For a few hundred dollars of bolt on parts and some time before and after on the dyno it seems like a good spend.

Ness Stage 1 Air Cleaner
PowerVision-2 Tuned

Got my bike back from the dyno today, had a bit of a snafu since it had been forever since the tech had tuned using power vision. He called me and said after 2 hours of trying to tune it nothing was changing, well he was forgetting to flash the ECU thinking the power vision worked like the power commanders and piggy backed on. After reminding him of the process with power vision a light came on and he was off. Really cool dude and I know they do good work there so I'll chalk it up to rust since 95% of the tuners they tune on are the screaming eagle ones.
I am bit dissapointed in the numbers for sure though, 69 HP and 96 FT/Lbs. He said it was mostly because of my exhaust and with a 2-1 header the torque curve woulda flattened out a bit better and HP woulda gone up a good amount, but looks are more important to me.
Heres the chart, torque comes on real strong really early but starts moving down as rpm goes up. I was definitely hoping to see it come on strong there but stay strong longer, he said it was my cam profile in conjunction with my exhaust. IDK, it pulls hard all the way from seat of the pants so I'm pretty satisfied.
Let me know what you guys think, I kinda think more dyno time he coulda smoothed it out a bit but I have no clue how this tuning works.
Stats- 2012 Deluxe, 103", TW222 cams, SE stg 1 A/C, Samson true duals with 33" baffled longtails

And yes a 2into 1 would net more hp and trq but with cams and a 103 you should be in the 90's mine 88 made 87 hp with a thunderheader 585 cams and a super sucker there is more potential there maybe look into a diffrent tunner (dyno)

I am thinking of it once the 39" baffled cholos slip ons come in. Like I said I'm pretty disappointed with the numbers and curve of the tq, but looking at fuelmoto's curves on their website, they do similarly but higher numbers and its a little flatter.
Like I said they I pretty much had to tell him how to tune with power vision. They called me and said they were done with it since it wasnt changing every time they put a tune on it, I asked if they were flashing the ecu each time. They weren't.
They said they were pretty much done with it, at that point after spending a few hours on it. I think they just kinda rushed to get it to where it's at now since I picked the bike up 2 hours after our conversation. I definitely think it can be better with more dyno time.

Red, go do some auto tunes your self and see what happens seat of the pants feel. Then after you get the fishtails installed do some more auto tuning then take it back to your tuner and have him work it on the dyno and make sure you have the day off to kinda "hang around" and see what all he adjusts.
The 222 will drop off but should do better than what it's showing now.
