I think that is great, but really doesn't tell the story as the drivability is so much better. It makes 30 more ft lbs at 2,000 rpm. The annoying decell popping is gone, it runs cooler, better throttle response at any rpm, it pretty much woke up the engine. It runs so good now I'm going to put off cams till next year. In addidtion, the tuner had very nice things to say about the 103 engine. Think I take the bike out for a ride.
Mind if I ask the cost? I'm thinking about doing the same...

Great,, now how about posting those sheets instead of just posting Numbers.

We all love to see the sheets of the before and after when some one does good work.. That way we can really see what all the motor work does and where the TQ is to help other decide what to do..

Also do U know that there is a Thread here in the Softail section just for posting Ur Dyn o sheets... Dyno number for Softails...

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...-softails.html

Its a Thread that offers great help for others to look at all the sheets to help make their mind up what to do.
