Keep in mind that the shop that did my pulls did not tune the bike so there was no incentive for them to show inflated numbers.

The air/fuel trace showed what the map was set at for 100% throttle cells and they did three pulls each. All three pulls on each run were with in 1 HP and .5 TQ of each other.

BM83: Glad you have enjoyed the development of your engine and observing the changes in performance along the way--nice information and don't recall anyone else doing it so methodically.

With your current build, a good tune will get you comfortably over 100/100 while retaining the flat torque curve.

I'm sure Coolhawg is very happy with his SE 255 cammed 96 numbers, but his dyno chart will look nothing like yours--his is a mountain peaking at 100 tq at about 4K and dropping quickly after about 4500, while yours will look like a plateau staying at or well over 100 from 2700 to abouat 5200, with more horsepower (which reflects how fast the engine hits those numbers).

I'd expect to see better numbers than that.
