I finally had my 2011 FLHTK dyno tuned yesterday after taking a year to finish the Stage 1 (Screamin Eagle mufflers, Arlen Ness Super Sucker, PCM V). I also decatted the header myself. I'm happy with the results and the difference is very noticeable:
HP: 84
Torque: 102
HP: 84
Torque: 102
hp: 83.61 (from 73.98 w/PCM stock tune)
torque: 101.06 (from 89.16 w/PCM stock tune)

Nothing slanderous intended. Wednesday's are exceptionally good build days. No Monday morning hangovers and no gettin ready for the weekend Fridays. People are dialed in on Wednesdays. That is also a fact. You have my congratulations on having an extremely strong stock stage 1.

Honestly I wouldn't have believed it either and I sure wasn't expecting it. I watched the last run and asked for the print out because my entire family rides and would call BS on a Stage 1 with 100+ for torque. When I spoke to the techs about the torque numbers they attributed them to the head pipe being decatted. So I guess the 2 hours of work I put into that project and the $30 i spent to get it welded back up yielded me more than just reducing the header temperature. Either way, it better than stock. I figured on some bias when I posted the numbers... like I said, I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't seen it.

One thing that makes the numbers high is the STD correction. It's always going to be higher than SAE, which is pretty much the more standard correction factor you will see on most dyno printouts.
You should ask for the SAE printout that shows the conditions and correction factor.
