Okay now I'm worried about the dyno I had done 2 years ago on my 06 88" FLHT. I got 73 hp with 76 tq, using SE airfilter, stock ECM, PCIII, and wild pig slip-on's.

Not to take a swipe at anyone by any means but nothing in the post makes sense to me. 55HP pre tune??? Everything looks out of wack if you ask me. There is no way the stock HP was that low. 88"ers made better HP.

According to my official Dynojet WINPEP7 Performance Evaluation Program fancy-schmancy print out, I was at 68.93 hp and 83.60 tq after the stage 1 efi tuner and before the remap. After the modified map, I was at 73.25 hp and 85.46 tq. Definitely not as much of a gain as I was looking for but obviously better than stock. This was done at HD when I bought the bike. If I should be up around 90, does that mean I need to have it remapped or am I pretty much stuck where I'm at?

Doesn't sound right, check my sig on 88". Wish I had a better TQ number, but my TQ curve is flat so that is a plus.

I have an '08 Ultra with RUSH 2" baffles, SE intake and SERT.

My Dyno results are...

Maxpower = 72.61

Max Torque = 86.56

Could his having SE mufflers vs. other, more "open" mufflers be causing his lower results?

I think his Max HP results is a typo.

I think the dyno readings are off. HP seems low before and after, and NO increase in torque? No way you'll get the exact same number on two different dyno runs.

There is no way a factory 08 comes out with 55HP! It should be 64 or 67 correct? Anyway take it somewhere else and get it retuned!
