I used to say the same to my friends when they were upgrading but now I understand, if you love your ride and want that little extra ummph when required, its just nice to know its there and also, there is the fun aspect of riding with others when you see their faces as you pull away.

Just enjoy whatever turns you on I say.........

Excuse me but the top graph both lines are horsepower. The bottom graph both lines are torque. So there is no "top graph is better than the bottom graph"

Correct me if I'm working but I'm losing power due to no back pressure. Wouldn't tq cones help with back pressure. And Tampa Fatboy what do you mean by street performance jugs. Alot done to it for your average Softail slim

I never had a baseline Dyno of the bike stock the top graph is just hp and the bottom is tq. I haven't even got to ride the bike after all the work has been done
