Thanks for your input Ken. I’ve used ThunderMax auto-map many times as well as fine tuning the timing and fuel to address acceleration / deceleration in and out of corners. Addressed at appropriate throttle positions and it runs strong, I’m not complaining at all.

PowerVision is on my 13 RG and I have worked with that as well. I just want a direct comparison on drivability between the two on the M8 so my question to Murph.

Sounds great! With not knowing what your experience level was with the TMax I was only trying to save you some money that you might not need to spend and I wasn't at all trying to say that TMax is the best. Everyone has their preferences with Tuners and it boils down to what you know the best or find the easiest to learn when you compare the best ones out there. PV is a favorite for most people. I've worked with various tuning devices through the years and just about all did a great job with various types of builds. PV, TMax, Direct Link from Techno Research, TTS who actually developed the orginal Screaming Eagle Super Tuner that was the last really good device HD put out. Anyway, best of luck and I'm sure the bike will run great either way you go. Murph will get you hooked up!

One from today. Customer had his 131 heads and 64mm manifold ported by Ward’s Performance. Reinstalled those items with Feuling head breathers, S&S piston jets, and a Trask vented trans top. Picked up about 9 hp and 5 tq from where it was before all of that.

Those extra ponies can get expensive.

Almost a perfect 150/150 and a solid linear line - this would be a fun bike to ride.

Lol. Oh it is!

Murph, do you have the previous sheet to compare?

I didn’t do the work on this one, just tuned it. Very surprised and happy with the torque plot on this one.

Another one from today. Put a 475 cam in a customer’s CVO RGU 117 with a Khromewerks headpipe. Customer would not let me change the CVO mufflers out.

 

[crazy4ink]

One from today. Stock 117 with an Andrews 485, SE 64mm throttlebody and manifold, SE 5.5 injectors, extreme wedge air cleaner, Khromewerks headpipe and TAB mufflers. Pulls like a freight train

 

[crazy4ink]

2015 FXDB 110”, Woods #6 cam, 54mm throttlebody, oversized air filter, 2-into-1, and ported heads with oversized valves.

This was a retune because the owner changed the exhaust. Came in making 124hp/120tq.
As you can see above, 5th gear pull like I normally do made 126hp/127tq.
6th gear pull netted 130hp/129tq

 

[crazy4ink]

Another tune from today.

 

[crazy4ink]

Another one from today. Stock everything except an Andrews 465, a KW headpipe that fits under OEM heat shields, Kw mufflers and added 1 louvered baffle to the right side. He had all of that stuff already except the for the baffle that I added which forced a retune. Made the same numbers but the torque and horsepower plots are a lot smoother.

@crazy4ink Murph, do the Khrome Werks stepped headers do any better than a "straight" pipe?

From what I’ve seen, yes the stepped headers do help. I’ll be doing another cam and KW 2-into-2 tomorrow so I’ll be able to show before and after plots

 

[crazy4ink]

I didn’t put this one together, one of the other techs did, I just tuned it.

2021 SGS 114, aluminum manifold, stock TB, 5.5inj, Andrews 485, ventilator AC, stock headpipe and SE Street Cannons.

 

[crazy4ink]

Same bike as the post above, just the before and after.

What a difference a tune makes. Impressive

I’m always blown away at these tunes……. it’s incredible what can happen in the hands of a highly competent tuner…….

Thanks man. Just trying to do the best I can for people.
