Default Another happy HQ customer

OK, for all those that read the saga that was my Xmas present from my wife here is what we've got so far.
Went with the HQ 103 kit
HQ-TC-575-HC cams
Ported Heads, pistons, larger injectors, compression releases, etc...

Ran a dyno run today after putting 500 or so miles on her and came up with 106/106 - and feels just awesome! First run was with the Ness big sucker, D&D, and the Thundermax, second was the effects of the "work".
Have to do a little more tweaking on the Thundermax, but running great. Talked to the guys at zippers and just have to say they are top notch!!
I'm going to stop by there booth at Daytona so they can add it in as a base map - thought that was cool.
Thanks again for all the help. Sorry for the crappy scan, the scanner is getting ready to take a trip down the stairs...

Congrats on the build; very nice torque curve (more like a flat line which is nice to see). Interesting to see how the TMAX tunes the engine, so please keep us posted.

Congrats on the build...looks like a strong runner. I am a little surprised that people didn't get on you about your "uncorrected" dyno sheet....i know that harleypingman really likes SAe numbers...but he didn't mention it on your build.In fact,there are those on this forum that require the SAE sheet....or think you shouldn't be allowed to post--I am not one of those people. That build is making good numbers and i bet its a blast to ride. But--it's always great to see SAE numbers for comparison purposes if you have them. Congrats again!!

Thanks everyone, it is a whole new machine, couldn't be happier. Well we all know how that saying goes... (happy till next year anyway)
I personally don't realy care for dyno sheets myself sae or other, she is a blast to run. The only reason I even had the sheet was the guys down at the dealer were curious to see what it was making and asked if they could run her. I said have fun, and by the look on there faces they did.

All smiles here, hope some of you all came make it down to Daytona for some sun.

Glad you like the build, and it will keep getting better as the T-max dials it in a bit more.

Have fun!

Congrats on the nice build....should be very fun to ride

Which TMax map did you use? Did your tuner make any changes to the timing or AFR's?

Thanks
