Default TW-555 installed and tuned

I just finished My first winter project. For reference I first completed a stage one on my 11 SG with 103 (equipment) Vance & Hines Big Radius 2x2 with ness AC and direct link tuner. This set-up showed 75.6 HP and 100.2 TQ. After much consideration and just having the desire to start a new project I decided to change to a Vance & Hines pro pipe chrome 2x1,a SE high flow AC and install the Woods TW-555 cams, wood lifters and woods adjustable pushrods. this set-up delivered 94.1 HP and 106.2 TQ. On the ride home from my dyno guy ( Ed at the Dyno Difference) here in Dallas I felt like I was on a completely different bike now trying to figure out how to take off work tomorrow and ride

Default Thanks

Thanks for the comments. I originally wanted the SE204's and Ed talked me out of it and shared the results of the triple 5's that he has been seeing. Not only is Ed a great tuner he is also a great resource that sees many combinations and is willing to share all his experience. With all the horror stories I hear about regarding tuners and input, I feel really fortunate to have a guy like him in my backyard

Do you miss the 2x2 pipes? I really like the way they look and sound.I know you give up a little in performance but there has to be a way to get better numbers with the 2x2 exhaust,torque cones? maybe,different baffles maybe adjustable baffles just throwing that out there. I would like to try the 2x2 exhaust just don't want to sacrifice a lot of HP,and I don't have bags of money for experiments. Any way great numbers. I'm also thinking of cams the 222s or 555s.
