I've never been to his shop but I have heard very good things about Wolfgang as well from people that have used him.
I thought the same thing about my mileage drop but for the boost in performance your looking at about 25 miles, give or take, less per tank. Touring that's not really a big deal. Especially since my wife wants to stop before then to stretch her legs. Where it gets me is I used to make three full trips back and forth to work on a tank. Now it's 2 1/2 trips. But then I ride the Road King to commute so again, no big deal but I totally understand your thought process.
Danny can lean it out if you ask him too but you loose some of the get up and go.

Exhaust wise, I'm leaning to a Fullsac header with possibly doing come Crusher mufflers or even the Fullsac mufflers. Again, I no expert at all and don't see what reworking the factory header will do, other than saving a few $$$$.

Yes....I kept my factory header and have already removed the cat from it. The 1 shop say they take your factory header and do a rework and put their collector design into it and then reuse. I guess effectively that is close to the same thing that you get aftermarket.

Wow, if you can get a picture of one I'd love to see it.

Talked to Wolfgang today, as I had totally forget he was down there. His suggestion, 551 cams and everything else Danny suggested. He also suggested keeping my Power Vision and tuning with that, his words no sense in losing/wasting the $$$$. Same also on my current exhaust system, which I had planned to swap before hand. I'm going to revisit the cams. The factory HD cams have a 511 lift on them and I don't feel like the S&S 510's will give me anything added. It's interesting how 2 tuners/builders can have the save answers to many questions but suggest 2 totally different cam setups.

Either builder is going to make their suggestions on what they like or have had success with, but in the end, I'm sure they will both put in any cam or exhaust you ask for and then tune it right.

There is no single answer to any tuning question! That's what makes answering questions such as 'which is best' impossible. Far better to select a tuning shop, talk through what you are after and stick with their recommendations.

I'll definitely be able to get a pick of 1. I'm going to give 1 a try on my bike. Plan is to drop it off the Tuesday after the Lone Star Rally. So when it's all done, I'll post picks of the header as well as the dyno sheets.
