DYNO or not to DYNO
06 SG, Rhinehart tru-duals, PCIII, Ness A/C. 2 up: me 230lbs, her 140, lbs
Smoothe idle, good rumble, smooth acceleration, starts right up, almost zero popping on decel.
Good midrange pwer, 2nd and 3rd gear. average low end and hi end.
I guess I though it would have MORE POWER. It didnt shock me, get me all excited, scare the crap outta me.....just kinda was blah. i was a little bit let down.
Am i expecting to much? should this thing reall want to take off or is this about it with this setup?
I know I didnt get a torque pipe but I really thought I was gonna be really happy with what the rhineharts did.
Would a DYNO get me more than i have now or do I need to keep going to be happy.
Thoughts????

RE: DYNO or not to DYNO
A dyno tune will help, but a stock motor is a stock motor.
While the Rineharts look cool and most like the sound, they are really too free flowing for a stock motor and that hurts your ability to make torque at the low end.
So.... ansewer is yes, you're probably expecting more than is available in the current configuration.

RE: DYNO or not to DYNO
i agree a dyno would help. i have the V&H fuel pack you cant dyno tune this pack, but you can get readings on what needs to be improved.
pipes do make a differance i had the basic slip ons then went to the ovals and there is a differance in power

RE: DYNO or not to DYNO
Smurf, I would. I didn't know any better being new at the HD scene and went ahead and did it after the 1k check up. It made a in your pants difference and diffently made a difference when I ride 2 up, which is most of the time. Sounds like you got the right add-ons to make it be better than what you have. I have also seen in my journey around this forum that true duels will loose a little bit of low end tourqe. I may be wrong about that statement and correct me if so, but do a search on the site on true duels and see what everyone else says about it. Good luck and good riding. Remi
