After installing a Woods TW6-6 cam I took my bike to Ed at "The Dyno Difference" in Dallas, Tx for a dyno tune. Ed returned my bike to me with 89.4 HP and 94.1 TQ. and the bike runs great. The concentric baffle I have in my muffler is designed for stock engines so it kind of hindered the tune. With a power baffle Ed felt like he could get another 5 to 10 ft lb TQ out of the engine. But, I'm happy with the numbers and the way the bike performs. I highly recommend this guy. Besides knowing what he is doing he's a good guy! Even though he is 523 miles from me if I ever need a dyno tune again he will get my business.
I don't know how much I believe that the concentric baffles hurt performance. The 103 in my Night Train is making 116/116 with a quiet baffle, I can't imagine that the concentric is that much more restrictive.
I'm going to head to JD's at some point this summer to get tuned, and we'll see what he says.
