Default Dyno Run

Made an appointment for a dyno run on December 26 at Capital Harley-Davidson in Tallahassee Florida. This is just to see where I am now. Will post results when finished. I wanted a baseline to start with. I will then add pipes and another dyno run. Then a dyno tune with a SERT. The gentleman I spoke with did not think I should be running the SE-255 cams(I have the 103" Stage II) as I am not at redline most of the time. I kinda agree, they seem happy at higher RPM, and I do not stay there enough to benefit. IMHO. 3000+ rpm's most of the time or the bike feels sluggish.

Default RE: Dyno Run

If you want a dyno queen, pick a cam that puts out its peak HP right at redline. If you want a quicker bike, choose one that peaks HP before redline, allows you to shift 500 - 700 RPM (depends on shape of HP curve) past your peak HP RPM so when your RPM drops after eachshift, you are still into your power band. This way you can average more HP throughout every gear then someone who has more power, but can't use it.

Hehehe, I am not interested in a "dyno queen", but I do like the terminology. I am misssing something, shifting 500-700 rpm??? Mine idles at 1000. Anyway I am just curious as to what she is capable of.

Just copied and pasted what geargrinder said.
