Jerry from Dynotunes Said same thing when he had it on the dyno, He said he has seen some strange things happen when he has bikes dial out over 130hp..First pull only kicked out 121hp 132tq, But noticed back wheel was slippin on the roller, So he had to strap bottom of crashbars down .Compression ratio 10.5 :1..
Sounds like a healthy build. Sure would like to see a sheet on it. What type of clutch are you runing?
Those are serious numbers! But they may not be peak, perhaps the engine was only revved to 4970rpm. It is possible they will get even bigger at higher rpm.....
Anythings possible. But I would wonder why they didn't run it to at least 6K RPM's. Apparently it's not a frsh build, since he's been through 3 or 4 tires a season and it eats clutches and bearings. (Which "eating" bearings doesn't make sence to me neither). Have a bearing fail in a motor and you have alot more problems than just changing the bearing.
FYI, 146 HP at 4970 would generate 154.28 foot punds of TRQ.

Trying to dig up the sheet, We currently moved and don't have everything unpacked yet, as soon as i come across all my paperwork i WILL post the sheet. as for the clutch i'm running a BDL with a centrifuge locker on it
and as for the bearings i wasn't refering to the engine crank bearings, i was refering to the transmission mainshaft and front and rear wheel bearings, fronts from front end slamming down too hard .. and the rears .. i'll let you guess on that 1
Riding a '10 Electra Glide Classic. Had the engine upgraded to 103 stage II, with SE air filter and Vance and Hines true dual exhaust. Dealer ran it on the Dyno and it put out 75hp and 98 tq
[103", 255 Cams, V&H Power Duals, Monster Ovals, SE Stage 1. Dealer Dynoed at TQ 101, HP 88.56. Does this sound OK?]
looks like it's right where I would expect it to be. I had same setup except for 2 into 1 exhaust and was making 104 tq, and 84 hp. I loved the torque down low that the 255 made, perfect for heavy loads and mountain roads.
