I spent the past 9 years and almost 100k miles on a Valkyrie. The stock motor
was close to 98 hp and 98 tq.
I ran a set of custom glass packs, which gave me more hp & tq.....
Second gear rolling burn-outs or wheelies was not a problem.
Not sure what my '08 RG has for torque and hp...
I have the SE heavy duty breather, Rush 2" slip-ons, and a set of XIED's.
I'm 100% happy with my new bike....over 10k miles this summer.
I try not to compare "what was to what is"....as they are 2 different bikes.
Stock '99 Valkyrie was $ 12k ....... stock '08 RG was $ 19.5k
I sold the Valk for $ 5k less than I paid for it.......

I had two Valkyries, they are awesome bikes. I wish they would bring them back! I would buy one as a second bike.

different dynos will give you diff. numbers. That's why you need to do a base run (which you have basically done ) and use the same dyno to see the results of further mods. I suspect a better flowing A/C and a better fuel map will improve your #s a bit but if it's running good for you now, then that's all that matters.

With no appropriate ECM download? Why would anybody want to even attempt changing out the airbox without managing the fuel accordingly? *IEDs aren't even fuel management for a stock engine setup.
