HP and TQ won't cross over on a Vtwin.... looks like your ideal HP/TQ RPM is approx 3500 RPM....pretty typical for a Harley.

No worries...on really high RPM motors usually not found in a harley frame....TQ can build faster with HP catching up with RPM...usually not typically in a tractor like harley motor or at least what Ive seen.

No Headwork
574 Easy Start Crane Cams (Chris "Rocket" Rivas endorsed cams)
CP Pistons (10.75:1)
Big Sucker (extended filter)
Big Shot Staggered
PC111

I have an opportunity to buy a Pro Pipe 2:1 at a VERY good price so I am thinking about jumping on it. Do you guys think going with the Pro Pipe will get rid of that dip in my torque curve above?

Also, is it necessary to get the bike retuned after putting the new pipe on or could I wait a little while to do it?

Horsepower is calculated from torque.
HP = TQ x rpm/5252; the lines should cross at 5252 rpm.

the tq scale is set to 100 ft lbs , and the hp scale is set at 90 hp... thats why they dont cross at 5250rpm...looks like they were trying to make the tune appear better...jmo

Thanks for taking a look.
I didnt see that before, so they do cross at 5250 but he spread out the 2.
IDK why he did that, maybe to see it better??
But in your opinion does it seem pretty typical for my set up? seems like i got a little bit more than most guys do, probably due to going with the pro pipe and not a 2into2.
Next year i may do some cams.

The TQ and HP aren't set to anything, the software program adjusts the frame based on creating a relevant graph showing the peak HP and TQ....no reason to expand the graph to show if the TQ and HP cross. Why such concern on where they intersect?

Im not concerned at all lol.
So the comment on him setting the TQ to 100 and the HP to 90 is not relevant?
