My dad has a 08 ultra classic thy we just put a 106 kit on as well as cams and ported & polished heads. Just got it dyno'd and it made 92 hp 110 tq, pretty impressed with the torque hp is a little lacking but it's running the stock exhaust with slip ons so it's understandable.
On to the issue though before we did the work it was doing this as well so I don't don't think it has to do with build but I could be wrong. Quick blips of the throttle cause it to almost die. If you ease into the throttle it runs fine but a quick flick of the wrist and it spits and sputters. I only notice it coming off lights and blipping the throttle downshifting.
