These kind of discussions make me chuckel, at what RPM do you want moretorque? With various combinations more TQ can be made at 1000, 2000, 3000, etc, etc,RPMs, where do you want it? The age old question, "how fast do you want to go doing what".?
Right !
2k to 3k rpm that's the range I'd appreciate to go through up to 5th gear, and there up to stay rollin'around 3.5.
Cool rides, my favourites...

Bryan,

I'm not *worried*, just don't want to be any more. Each man a story...

Cams is sound part of the project, DTT/SERT/ThunderMax ? ? ? I remember you disconnected autotune on your. Would you pick DTT again if you were on the start line ?

If you are going to stay at 88"(which it sounds like you are going to), put in a set of Andrews 21G cams, put on a free flowing air cleaner like the K&N 3910, put on a set of slip-on mufflers like the Wild Pigs, and then either do the PCIIIusb or get a Thundermax. That will be the cheapest and "safest" mods you can do that will make a big difference in your low-end torque. The PCIIIusb will need a good map or a dyno tune, or the Thundermax will adjust the AFR automatically for you.

Sounds good, andit was a pleasure to see the WP shirt...
Will the Thundermax be reusable if I move to a 2007 or 2008Road King one day ?
