Bought my 07 Heritage in March and it already had V&H Big Shots Long on it and doesn't appear to have had anything else done to it. I am not one to burn up the road but it just seems like it could have a little more giddy up. Want to install a Stage 1 AC and get it tuned. Does anyone know of a good Dyno guy in Central IL? I am willing to travel a few hours but do in case ever need any changes do not want to go too far. Have heard of a few guys South of Chicago that are pretty good but that would be almost a 4 hr haul.

Just got off the phone with Tuner Guy...He wasnt able to get full throttle runs done due to clutch slipping, fixing that now...
96hp 106TQ... Probably wont change much after clutch is done...from 78Hp and 92TQ with Samson True duals and get 18hp more just by switching pipes...I am happy happy happy!

New Harley performance
I've rode a lot of miles and have had quite of few bikes but after cruising across our country I have found Harley gave a smooth ride and good MPG. I now ride a 2012 FLSTCI and can tell you what a disappointment with performance and mpg. I've had 4 touring Harleys previous and the 88cu.in Road King had better mileage pulling the same small trailer as the 103cu.in Heritage and better power. Now I've had the same weight and performance additions on almost every single Harley. 2003 Road King 42 mpg no trailer/38 with trailer, 2012 Heritage 38mpg no trailer/ 25 with trailer. I had Dynojet which was in Sturgis checked the bike and they ran the numbers and said they did a little adjustments but not much. Now many of you are going to tell me rubber mounted versus counterbalance shaft motor which I get all of that. So I think Harley should make a Heritage with a touring motor/rubber mounted for 2015. If you can help with this problem let me know..

POST your (DYNO SHEET [preferred]) or NUMBERS) for Ur softail?
Looking for DYNO sheets or numbers on different builds to help make a decision when choosing pipes and cams. might find one like Ur thinking in here.
Touring area also has a DYNO thread ( ITS FOR BAGGERS )!
(INCLUDE) --- YR; MOTOR; CAMS; PIPES; DYNO numbers-before and after?; (STATE if DYNO was SAE or STD), other info.
Thumbnails of my dynos,-- with Andrews 26H's (80HP/92TQ)--- base run on 96''er average 58HP and 75# TQ. Sheet below With Stg-1 installed, But before Dyno tuned which I got 63hp/78.8Tq---(Both are SAE corrected) So just the Rush pipes got 5 more HP and 3# of TQ.
Cams and Stg-1 added 22 HP and 17# of tq over stock motor. 58hp/75tq VS 80hp/92tq....
update on the andrews 26H cams in post # 88 in this thread..........
