Default Pretty sure its a bad Compression tester

I got the same numbers before and after. It would appear this compresdion tester is stuck at 120. Thats why i pulled it back open. Figured a couple hours to get a new one or just pull rods and covers and go back through it.
To answer the previous question, yes I am running S&S adjustables, Andrews 57H, Fueling OE+ plate and pump. Pressure is 60 psi cold, and 24 warm at idle.

Thank you all. I' ll update after the tune
Damn man, a tooth off wtf. Run really fast and get a tuner a PV tuner.

Default Tuner

Lmao. I couldnt run now if i tried. Iooked at the PV and it looks like a great piece of hardware. Im just used to using the TTS and screaming eagle from my past Buells and Dynas. Seems prudent to stick with what i know, at least until I find a competent tuner locally....

I knew from your description that it was more than a tune.

On your rework did you check both the cam-to-cam timing and the crank-to-cam timing, or just the latter? I hope you did both.

Yeah, i checked it. Right back to the store. It was two bad bosch guages in a row that were bad. Time to seek a good American tool company. Any suggestions ?

I would leave one plug out just to make it easier to crank over and again in some posts u will see to leave spark plugs plugged in and ground to eliminate change of coil damage. I have never done this and had no problems, but have seen too many posts saying to do this or coil damage could occur, your choice.
Beer is on me when your in Oregon next time.

205TW004.dt0 on se racetuner give this a try dyno guy used this on my bike when i had 255 in bike if u have a newer version i think it may be 205tw005 now of coarse u will have to get 3-4 ve smart tune runs, u may have to take a degree or two out of timing around 2700-2800 if u get pinging. look in the spark knock table try and match up rpm to thottle position where the ion system took any timimg off when it noticed pining condition
