Sorry I didn't get a chance to respond to everyone last night. The results are in. Max torque was just over 113 ft lbs and max HP was just over 93. I'll post the dyno sheets to this thread as soon as I receive them from Jamie.
Here's my take after the 210 mile ride home.
Performance: without a doubt an improvement. More power in the RPM range I ride in for sure. The TW-222 work well for low end torque. Throttle response is better. More time in the saddle will tell me more. Last nights ride home was pretty much all interstate at 70 mph, so lots of 6th gear. Not a lot of time to play. I will say that 5th and 6th have more "get up and go" now when you need it.
Noise: it's louder and in pretty much every way. When I open it up there's quite a growl but not to the point of annoyance - though I will say I wouldn't ever want anything more. Noticeable difference at cruising speed but not bad enough to cause my riding enjoyment to suffer. My wife may disagree. I'll find that out today. There are some new noises on the right side of the motor that were definitely not there before. I'm assuming at this point it's only the new cams and pushrods. I'm TRYING not to worry about it much because both Jamie and Keith listened to it. If there was a problem I'd think they'd have noticed. Nevertheless, I'll keep an ear on it.
FuelMoto: what a nice group of guys and gals. Keith did all the wrenching and Jamie did the dyno work. I was able to watch Keith work on the bike and take pictures here and there. I'm not worried a bit because I know they'll stand behind the work they did. I just wish they were a little closer (I know).
Stay tuned for dyno sheets.
