he is blowing smoke, my dealer told me the same story when I bought my bike. I am so glad I didn't listen! I found this wonderful forum and started gathering parts. right now I have everything I need, just gotta rip the heads offs and and get my work done, andrews 57h cams, andrews push rods, SE cam bearings, head port and polished, cc'd, decked, and true'd and compression bumped. I have already done my primary, 30t pulley, barnett clutch spring, and se compensator. all thise teamed up with my rinehart 2 into 1, wimmer better sucker, pcv I am hoping to hit 105-110 tq and 95-100 hp.

Impossible!
Here's what i used to get 95HP/103TQ(before i started tuning with main jet 2 sizes too small and ignition retarded too much), much more now. Have not dynoed it again. 2005 Dyna.
95" big bore kit with 10.5 forged pistons
Gear drive with Andrews TW55G cams
SE manual compression release heads with nothing done to them
42MM flatslide Mikuni with mileage kit installed that came with it
SE Heavy Breather
Daytona Twin Tech ignition with a map i wrote
Vance and Hines pro-pipe with stock baffle holes driller larger
Hey, last time i checked that's a lot more than $1200 worth of parts. By the way it gets 47 MPG running 75-80 MPH.

I had just put engine together and i ran it by and had it put on the dyno at a local rally to see what i had before i started tuning the bike. Had 95 HP in a bad state of tune. The dyno guy said of all the guys that came by and swore they had a 100 HP bike my 95 was the most anyone had got on a Harley that day. Seems like some of those dyno run sheets might be a bit optimistic? Maybe to get the customer what he thought he paid for? Here's a tip. If you can break the rear tire loose sometime passing cars on dry pavement at 60 MPH you might have 100 HP.

An honest 100/100 ain't gonna happen with that combo...it's just not in the cards. Also; don't be lured by mere "peak" numbers; know where your torque is gonna be (I have 100ft lbs @ 2200rpm with my 103). More HP out of less cubes (you did say 88in) CANNOT be had unless you sacrifice bottom end power and that's what our motors are best at.
