Mine was just under 100 @ 2800. Hit 100 about mid 3’s. I think the pipes had something to do with that.

The cam is an Andrews 57h. Had the heads ported and polished while the engine was apart for some warranty work. They shaved the heads a little just to bring the compression back to stock at this altitude. I wasn't trying to take up the front tire by any means.

You're not the only one. I am so excited and can't stand the anticipation!

There's a dyno close to me, I thought about re running my bike. DJL says the one I was on is stingy.

I doubt I retune tho. Mike is supposed to be one of the best.

I tried and tried. No budge. They used a rubber grip like youd use to open a jar sealed supper tight.
thanks!!

Thanks Jim and everyone for your responses. We got the cap off, then ran down to the HD and bought a new one. So far, no issues with the new one. Tony was home on leave for a week, he and I got to ride together during bike week. He's now back at Osan AFB, thanks to everyone, I've passed on your positive remarks to him and he says "thanks for YOUR service", he appreciates all of you.

Idles pretty smooth without much lope, and instant power. 100 ft lbs of torque straight from idle. I love it.
Bravo- That is exactly what a good chart should look like. You have the TQ off like a bomb from the get go, then as RPM's increase the HP builds to continue the thrill ride.

The cam selection was A+ - but, it is not just the cam here making all the magic- it is all about how the heads, ports, quench, etc were set up to be optimal for this cam. Dropping this cam in a stock motor without doing anything else would not yield the same results. You can get this type of chart with other similar cams as long as the motor is optimal for that particular cam. In short if you want this type of dyno result, you have to build the motor for the cam. The cam grind can only tell you what it is capable of doing if everything else is built to make the most of it.


[EDIT]Oh wait -crap- you had the blow up and repair (sorry - forgot) - so it sounds to me like you got damn lucky, they must have given you a bit more compression than "just bringing it to stock levels", maybe cleaned up the chamber bowls and unshrouded the valves? Otherwise you would not have those numbers. Damn good way to come out of it!

If you can, find out what your static compression is. What type of pipe you running? This will be helpful for anyone else with a fairly stock BO and considering the 57H cam.
