2014 Street Glide Special @680 miles - D&D Fat Cat with moderate baffle, Heavy Breather and H-D Pro Tuner. Thought the numbers might be a little higher but dealer said their dyno does tend to be a little conservative and they might have said this was their 1st air cooled 2014 done. If I misunderstood that, I know they definitely said this was their 1st 2014 with a D & D done.

Been wondering what the new ones could produce with a few mods. Thanks

Indeed! I suspect we need to give the tuning shops a while to perfect their skills with them. If the factory can use higher CR and better cams as stock, we can probably look forward to a decent boost from our experts.

I can't see the torque line on that sheet. Have any with both? Have any with the base line? Surely they did a base line at 100% stock and then we could see the differences.

HP curve looks pretty good, and it is the curve that counts, now lets see the torque.

wurk_truk thanks. I'm sure they did not do a base line and that is my fault. I bought the bike from them and they are almost 3 hours from my home. I had gotten there at 9am and in addition to the parts/tuner install, I also figured before they did the dyno that I'd should go ahead and do the 1000 mile service (at 680 miles). At my age, I had told them I didn't want to have to do a lot of darkness riding to get home, although my wife said just spend the night somewhere but I wanted to get home and did at 7pm.

I'm seeing 2 lines on the chart that cross at about 5300rpms. I just assumed one was the horsepower line and the other was the torque line. That chart is all I have.

The two curves cross at just about 5,250rpm for every engine! The torque curve is the upper one to the left, the power curve being the highest on the right, hence 84HP/103TQ.

So are you able to see the line that wurk_truk says he can't see?

Pretty good numbers ... it took an exhaust, SEPST, Stage 2 A/C AND cams for my '11 103" to make those same numbers. Now with a 107" though, I don't look back.
