I was thinking that as well. Some people won't believe something unless they see/experience it for themselves, and even then they will probably questions it.

The reason some of us are having a hard time believing his claim of 96 hp is because pretty much everyone else (including myself) who has done the stage 1 on a 103 HO has seen numbers in the 84-86 hp range.
So yeh, unless he's dropped in a different cam his 96hp is a bit hard to believe especially since he's running the stock head pipe.

For a Stage 1 stock Ac flows more air than your engine can use in the real world. The change is more about looks than anything. Nothing wrong with that long as your are honest about it.

My point exactly. The stock 103 ho puts out around 76 hp (I have seen as low as 68) to the wheel so for someone with stock cams and headpipe to pick up 20+ horsepower is unheard of. Like i said before it must of been a generous dyno. Like some one said on another thread the dyno can show you what you want to see.

That's exactly what I'm doing for my 2015, and so far, digging the hell out of it!

I just like the way the " High Flow Intakes" look , the way my dragula sounds, and the way the PV dials it all in to sweet running machine.

In SlowRollin original post he states that he is using a FP3 tuner which will cover any tuning needed for his setup.

K&N states that their replacement air filter for 2014 & newer Bikes, flows more air than the stock air filter unit.
K&N part #HD-1614 will fit in stock filter housing, and cost about $60.oo, so that would turn the stock air filter
housing into the equivalent of a Stage-I air filter. That would take care of all the air his engine would use for S-I.
IMO.
