Well I got the bike dyno tuned today. The dynamometer says I picked up a few horses and torque. The butt dyno feels like I picked up a lot more.

Back when the bike had the .203 cams and OEM heads, on the same dyno with the same tuner, it produced 78.02HP, and 94.48 peak torque at 3,800rpm. Today I took the bike back in after the installation of the AMS heads, and Andrews 26G cams. On its first untuned run, (blue run file on the dyno sheet), it was lean and produced 79.74HP and 87.76 peak torque at 3,800rpms. After it was mapped and tuned, (red run file on the dyno sheet), it produced 83.69HP, and 92.45 peak torque. The difference, is that the torque peaked at 3,100rpm and stayed pretty much level to 4000rpm, my ideal riding range.

On the street this translates to good freeway roll on to pass cars and trucks. It has a lot more low end, and pulls hard all the way to redline.

Mark,

Did you have any targets in mind for numbers when you did this build or was the sole focus to get more than you had and remove the pinging?  

I read through the articles and may have missed it can you say what the cost of doing this project was.

Parts
Labor
Dyno

Thanks,

Ironhorse even if TQ / HP weren't what you were after I would never do a build without some type of expectation even if it is designed around removing an issue or settling one.   Did you have any expectations that you were looking for?
