I understand this was a performance build and thats more than likely how the dyno tune was done, but was wondering what the A/F looked like.
I've noticed a lot of the dynos posted are running lean. The dotted red line is the tunning mark to shoot for, anything above the line is lean, and below is rich. So for almost all the tunes posted on the forum show a lean tune, maybe this is to get the HP and Torque numbers everyone is shooting for?

RE: DYNO NUMBERS!

Not really. HP is mathmatically constrained to torgue
Thanks for the lesson
I know how HP numbers are obtained on a Dyno, the fact that HP is a mathmatical equation relative to torque further illustrates my point. HP is an illusion, without torque, there is no HP.
Okay, so you know that torque and HP are mathematically related. Without gravity, there are no stars or planets. Does that make stars and planets an illusion?
EVER consider going with a proven/tested, performance kit...Zippers, S&S, GMR, Big Boyz, Kuryakyn, Revolution, etc? Would you have more impressive results, for a similar investment?

See my updated numbers.
To answer your question, yes, I considered it, but no, it was no where NEAR the same cost. I bought the parts and had them installed for less than I could have purchased the kits you speak of above.
