You will get to those numbers with the 555's and your set up. Just make sure you get a good tune and your good to go. I am using the PCIII that had a pre installed map by FuelMoto and I couldn't be happier. My bike runs like night and day from stock. The cams make a big difference in general and give it that great gallop Harley sound.

Yep, thats basically the same setup...with the only difference being the tuner. Once you get it tuned, yours may run a tad better than mine since I'm using a custom map on my PcIII instead on getting it tuned by someone. Add those 555's and you will love the difference.

No, that's next on my list. I keep wanting to make time to get it up there for him to run it but I keep wanting to ride instead of dyno it. lol

He wants to charge me $300 to tune it but if I just want to dyno it, it's $80. He said he would wave the $80 dyno run if I get him to tune it, which is the best deal by far.

As soon as I do it, I will be sure to post the numbers. But I have seen quite a few others with my same set up and they were in the high 80's in HP and 100+ TQ.

I know this... it passes the seat of the pants test... you can tell the difference right away and my bike run much, much cooler.
