True dual power loss- How much really?
I know TD's sacrifice some low end torque, but how much? Anybody with some #'s. Anybody go to TD's and regret it. I just spent $$$ on cams-intake-EFI module. I am running Rush 2.0 mufflers and they(Rush) just came out with a TD set-up. I was thinking about going this route to get a little more volume + that 2 pipe note, but I can't see spending more $$$ to take away from a performance gain. A VERY small loss might be worth it, but only if it really made a big difference in sound. If anyone has been through this senario and made the switch to TD's, let me know if it was worth it. Could you actually FEEL a difference? By that I mean a drop in performance.
I just had SE 255 cams, SE stage 1 + Cobra FI2000R installed-What a difference!

RE: True dual power loss- How much really?
I don't really notice it. BUT, I have the 103 Stage 2 kit.
The one thing I really like, compared to the other Harleys I have ridden (at least one was also a bigbore kit bike) is that PASSING power, seems to be improved a lot.
Myself, I would rather have the power to pass a semi on the highway, than have it pulling away from a stoplight. Mine is VERY responsive jumping from 60-80.
How much is the big bore Kit, and how much is the exhaust, Im not sure. But I DO think that the true-duals are making a contribution in the midrange power. I can live with a bit of low end loss in order to gain that.
