Default opinions please

I feel like the build went well but I have very little experience with a Harley build. I'm very pleased with how the bike pulls right off idle. I would have loved to seen more HP but the bike pulls hard and HUGE improvement over stock.

Sorry for the crappy phone pic, the build is 95" SE flat tops, stock heads, 204 cams, tensioner/oil pump upgrade, V&H Dresser dual headpipes, Bassani Slash cut slipons, Ness Big Sucker AC, SE Race tuner. 81.86 HP @5,600. 96.64 TQ @3,600 but what impresses me how the torque is 86 @2,000. AFR runs pretty flat around 13.

If you change things to get more HP, that bump in your TQ curve will move right, unless you go radical and spend more money! TQ curve looks good and is why your bike pulls so well.

..stock heads are probably why the HP numbers were held back...it's still decent though...and as you know the TQ is where the fun is...but a mild porting would have given you maybe 6-10 HP more...
