Default First trip after new upgrades

Added a SE intake, SE 255 cam and a new seat last week.
Rode 300 miles up to Oklahoma today. Around town I really couldn't tell much difference with the new cam but once we hit the hills it was very noticeable.
Very happy with the extra power.
Only down side is that the new Saddlemen road sofa was awful.
It was 2" narrower than the stock seat which made the wires show and it was hard as a brick. It will be headed back to Revzilla in the morning.

What kind of tuner do you have? Did you have it dynode or just download a map? Is your bike a 96" or a 103? So many ?'s so little time.

I have the screaming eagle tuner, yes they ran it on the dyno.
Came back with 85.61 power, 101.02 torque
I expected it to be a little better than that.
Bike is a 2013 limited with the 103 motor

Those #s are pretty much dead on for your set up.

Thanks, I know very little about it.
Just going by the numbers I see posted here looks like a lot of folks are 10 to 20 percent better than that

Don't give up on that seat yet. Mine didn't get comfortable for about 1,000 miles.

Don't let dyno #s bother you too much. You can find #s all over the place for the same build on different bikes and different tuners. You will find those 255s will be great for you.
