Default Ride

Went for a long ride today, after getting my 25 degree injectors installed. Pulled the spark plugs when I got home. They are burning just right (way too lean prior to the new injectors). Not sure about the Dyno tune. Should I go with a K&N Filter to replace my Screaming Eagle filter before the Dyno? Feels like there should be a bit more power. Motor has 2K on it, still tight I guess.

Oh, I also put in my Hog Tune speakers. Wow ! Rode the Tomoka Loop, up A-1-A to Flagler. Creedance and Nickelback on these new Speakers really "kick".

Timex,

I would suggest you have a baseline dyno run done after your injectors installation. Regarding the filter, HD has come out with a new type of filter that does not require oil, like K&N. The need for more power for you, is due to your engine's fuel mixture and ECM calibrations being off. A good dyno tune expert would make sure that your fuel mixture is delivered correctly at just about every throttle position. When mine was done, the dyno guy set the mixture to at least twelve different throttle positions!

From the dyno, I've gain over 20HP from the OEM settings. It was the money well spent!
