I have a 13 SG and friend has 14SG. Mine has exhaust, stage one air filter, and power commander. His has nothing done to it, factory everything.

We were riding yesterday and his bike would walk off and leave mine from a stand still and rolling start. WTW. Is my tune the issue or the 14SG just faster?

I don't know what to tell you brother... does he weigh significantly less than you... also was there an additional 40lb or so variance in fuel in the tanks.

Your exhaust could be killing your low end torque too.

I believe '14 was the year the factory cam was changed to deliver more low end pull as part of the Rushmore program. The mods weren't just for the Steaming Eagles.
