Usually there's a nice ramp around 3k where it wakes up but it must be that 117 is the perfect amount of air to make this cam really tame?
I'm not sure anyone reasonable thought it was going to make 130s. It beat Harley's advertised numbers which are no secret. I mean they furnish an actual dyno chart, right?
Hope these hold up because this seems like a great setup.

It is the pipe, heads that have proper CSA for a 117" motor and adequate airflow to support 118hp but that is about the limit plus a cam without too much overlap. Seen any 110s make over 118hp with stock heads? You won't as that is the point both the heads and the throttle body check out and hp gains diminish fast regardless of the CU/IN. The torque curve shape, aggregate torque under the curve, and the peak number tell you that is a good running motor especially being a B motor and at low relative compression as I stated before.
Regardless of what the dealer says the motor warranty is now a verbal agreement between the dealer and the customer.
