Would love to get in this ballpark when I do the wife's FXLRST. Very similar products going in that one (Star 30/30, 64mm TB/Manifold, 5.5 SE Injectors, HPi V2, and Thrashin AR Exhaust). Pretty sure I will have that dip though at the start since the exhaust is shorter.

Don't worry...I'm still trying to talk her into letting me road trip to you for the final tune.

Tuning a low rider right now and first good, cleanish hit made 134/136

Great to hear Andrews is still bumpin.
Loved the EV-27 in my '94 FLSTC.

Just a mere 15/9 to go to reach the 150/150 mark 😁 Maybe decking the heads?

This is a customer’s and he’s not wanting to do that. Right now. Lol.

So when you pull the heads to replace the springs are you just replacing the head gaskets and reassembling without replacing the base gaskets? Reason I ask is I've heard some people have issues with the base gaskets weeping if not replaced at the same time. Also do you use brand new head bolts? I'm considering pulling my heads to change the head gasket from the .080 to a cometic .030 to bump up the compression a tad for the cam I'm wanting to run. BTW, it's a 24 FLTRX.

I don’t remove the heads to change the springs. I have the Jim’s tool that let me change them on the bike. Yes, whenever I break torque on the headbolts I replace the base gasket, head gasket and head bolts.

Ok, one more question if you don't mind. If I were to pull the heads and cylinders to change out the gaskets would I install the cylinders dry? I've only ever put motors together with fresh cylinders and pistons and always used an ever so light film of oil on the cylinder walls. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Not a stupid question. I always use assembly lube when putting cylinders on pistons, whether the cylinder and pistons are new or used. Dry surfaces and friction of metal or metal is your enemy in that situation.

DAYUM!!!!

The results are awesome but the fact that there are no dips or dives is what does it for me.

In the dyno most of the morning doing some learning. This is the first center cooled bike I’ve tuned with the new TTS tuner. It’s a stock 23.5 CVORG 121 VVT with a P&A air cleaner and a KW 2-1. With the street tuner, it made 119hp / 138 tq. So I gained a decent amount of hp and lost a small amount of tq.

Customer’s 2015 RG with a SE 120ST. I made NO physical changes, just retuned it. Customer should be happy with the gains.

Nice to see another Twinkie. I’ll take my Wood 222’s, V&H ProPipe and AC, and the 97/118 numbers you got out of it…. 😃

When you remove the heads, do you stick with oem thickness? See much difference with a Cometic .030" to bump compression up about .5 in the ratio? I'm thinking that would be faster/ cheaper than decking the heads and you can always go back to original.

We didn’t deck these heads, we had them ported and put some bigger valves in. But yes, we have changed to thinner gaskets before to bump compression up. We’re big fans of Cometic gaskets over the OEM laminated mesh things.

Didn't think you did deck them. Just thought of it since you pulled the heads. Doesn't the engine typically lose a little compression with an aftermarket cam, especially with one that has a larger valve overlap. That's where I'm going with this, without too much to cause detonation on pump gas.
