cam/pipe install done...WOW

after a 2nd look at my read out i had the numbers *** backwards, its 91.34 for the HP and 102.31 for the TQ..truth be told i am a little unhappy with the numbers i told myself i would be happy with a 90/100 build...but was really shooting for a 95/105...oh well a dyno is just a tool and they are a little different...a different day or a different dyno and 95/105 could be a real number.

I would be interested in how much all that ran you too if you don't mind sharing. I have a 12 wide glide with the 103", assuming our motor is the same stock hp I'd go ape$h1t having over 90hp on my bike. Definately notice the lack of power when I ride 2-up and my girl is only 120lbs. I'd need intake, pipes, cam and computer. Good luck with the bike, hope you won't be buying a rear tire anytime soon.

I love my build! 99hp/112tq. Major difference with mine is the head work I had done (Big Boyz Street head port/polish). I didn't have the intakes opened up (just polished) because I wanted to maintain intake velocity for drivability. Go with compression releases and you won't have any problems with 10:1. Most people will say it's over kill on a 10:1 motor but after our 50 days of 100+ temps last summer (in the south), I was glad I did them. Cheap insurance to avoid future starting problems + it helps the starter not work as hard. Dyno runs were before and after SERT tune.
Dyno run, 4th gear. Note that the bike is still making power at 6k rpm. I kept the limiter at 6k anyway for reliability purposes. TW-555 are great cams for street motors in my opinion. Little to no drivability issues other than a slight loss of torque felt right off idle (pulling from a stop light). If you having problems with drivability (the base tune for break-in was horrible for transitions) on TW-555 cams your tuner isn't doing a good job. This guy spent a lot of time working out low throttle transitions (notice no hiccups from 1800 rpm during pull) on my bike. It cost money but was well worth it.

yes it was a ton of money, pipes, cam, push rods, air cleaner and a power commander and i dont buy cheap parts so between that and labor i would say it was right around 2500 bucks start to finish thats with a dyno tune..not sure what stock number were but i am guessing in the mid 60's? I have always figured its right around 100 bucks for every HP you want to gain...good luck to all who do a build they are WORTH the money i love the way my bike pulls now, my last HD was cammed and 2-1 pipe and blah blah but it did not run like this one...the woods 555 cam pulls great just wish it came on a bit sooner in the power but 102 TQ at 3500RPM is pretty sweet

Well as far as I'm concerned, I'm happy with what I have but there's always next year for a little more horsepower.
