I get a call from a California man with a 2014 103 Limited. Owner says he just payed big money for a new build and dyno tune. Problem is, his milage is terrible, it's pinging real bad and his ears are ringing.
Here's the build sheet.
2014 103 Limited.
V+H Power Duals, Hi Output mufflers. V+H AC
10.5 pistons, ported heads, modified TB.
S+S 583 easy start
dyno tuned with Power Commander 5.
I get him on the schedule and he shows up right on time. I push it straight into the dyno room for a look at what's going on. I have seen some real bad torque curves, but this one has a torque ditch! I later find out this mess was done in my own backyard! I recommended a new exhaust and a tune. So it's off to the landfill with the bling exhaust and the pretend a tuner. Installed a DX Pipe and our 4.0 Slash mufflers with a 1.75 baffle. Reconnected the 02 sensors. Back into the dyno room for a tuning session with TTS. It was like a can of fix a flat! Torque curve blew up to 100 FT pounds at 2000 RPM, 25 FT pound gain at 2500! 113 TQ at 3000 RPM. 95 HP and 113 TQ peak. No more power leaks.
Special thanks to Richard from So Cal for riding with a Fullsac!
