you are correct out the box the S&S 124 is not a good bagger motor at 10;8 comp and 640 cams -- it can get a bit finicky -- lower the comp to 10:1 - no more than 10:5 and a torque friendly cam and you have got a great torque monster than runs very cool. Star built the motor and dyno'ed it -- the curve is straight up from idle
I have a friend who has done the opposite with his 124" and tuned the nuts off it - something like 160+ HP with a monster S&S carb. Like Joker says, it would be great to see your dyno curve.

Lynn, welcome to the 124" club! This chit is a disease! I am already burning thru my rear tire with mine....I am running the same setup just 10.2 comp 126hp/132tq. Enjoy that batboy
Here is some info on the new Wood's TW-888 cams which we are now offering with our Fuel Moto 107 kit. We just did a build for a customer that brought their bike up from North Carolina. It was a 2008 FLH and we turned around the build, break in, and tune in just over a day. From our Facebook page...
Fuel Moto 107 build setup @ 10.5 comp, Wood Knight Prowler TW-888 cams, FM Level B "CNC" heads, Jackpot 2/1 exhaust, tuned with Dynojet Power Vision. This combination made 117Hp/128Tq, an increase of 47Hp & 45TQ over their previous setup.

Seriously, that's one nice build Jamie, with tons of power out of your 107" build and those 888's!!
Well done!!

Look back at my 124" original post. I put over 10k miles on it this last summer. They are great for touring bikes. If I ride nice it will do up to 48 mpg. Lowest I saw was 28mpg once. Usually get mid 30s.

Well, after all these big builds, I feel kinda silly posting my stage 1 103, but why not.
2013 FLTRU, Fullsac headers, Fuel Moto AC, Kuryakyn Crusher mufflers, Power Vision.
Before: HP 71.79, TQ 87.2
After: HP 78.81, TQ 95.46
And I just noticed something strange - isn't TQ and HP supposed to cross at 5250, not 4250? That is weird - any comments about that?
[edit - just figured it out, the scales are different]

Kendall Johnson built 106" in my 05 FLHTCI. Came off the dyno this week.... 120 hp, 122 ft-lbs.... Check out the torque "curve." These guys rock.

A few years ago, those numbers would've been the envy of a lot of riders; even some today still.
And the cost of your mods vs. that of some of these others? No contest!
(Now, if you add cams, you're gonna be extremely impressed with your results!)
