OK guys, my apologies for nto providing more details. I am in North Brevard county. Daytona to the north, Orlando to the west, Palm Bay to the south are all do-able for me. My 09 is an FLHP, so it has a factory 103 and a factory non-catted head pipe. I have added Jackpot 4" slip ons already.
I like the look of a SE Heavy Breather. I wondered how much improvement a fuel moto (or other) head pipe would provide over mine, since it has no cat? All the tuners on the market make my head spin. I think I would like to install some cams for better power without too much sacrifice in reliablity. I dont have he time to do the more invasive part of this myself therefore I would rather find a trustworth shop who can get it done. I can do AC and header but cams is out of my reahlm.

call DOC - talk about a cam, breather - tuner upgrade and see what the price is

If you are in Central FL and looking to spend money at least give DOC a call and ask him.

he teaches the HD techs how to tune a bike, so why not give it to the best

ok, I called Doc and have an appointment for the end of March. We discussed and are leaning towards the Andrews 57 cams along with a HD Heavy Breather and TTS Tuner. The second day will be on the dyno for Doc to dial it in. He said I could expect 98/108 hp/tq. I am wondering if I am going too conservative on the cams selection? My RK is only used for day trips so cross country rideability isnt paramount and I dont care about fuel economy. I want good power for around town and to keep me amused on the ride to work.

this is exactly how I felt. I was probably on the phone with him for 10 minutes and part of that was him putting together an estimate. I kept thinking that I was holding him up from getting some other guys bike back together. He never made said anything or did anything to make me feel that way, I just did. In retrospect I think you are right, I do need to ask a few more questions. I'm at $2k now. I wonder what the next step is? I dont think I gave him enough specifics on what I wanted and I bet he gave me a very safe middle of the road recommendation that would make everyone happy, but not me ecstatic.

not sure what it is you are looking for, but my 96ci is at 91/101 on that dyno and I can tell you, it's a blast!
98/108 - that sounds like more fun!

Dont worry so much about max HP, its the TQ you feel. Those are good numbers. You want to look at a few dynos with that cam, I like tq to kick in early, I have the 777 cam and it kicks on before 2500 rpms (well over 100 by 2500 rpm), I am not familiar with the cam and header pipe curve, you might want to look for a sheet in the dyno section or ask the quetion in the touring section.
