    I am just checking to see if it is close to what the dyno sheets said when I bought it. I am going to be putting that +4 key in too so I am just comparing as I am making changes. No 98" kit in the near future.

    In the midst of waiting for the Glide to get done, I went and bought a battery charger and finally getting to the Suzuki charged. Chevelle has been harassing me get her out on the bike. So, like a good daddy I am obeying!!:rolleyes:

    Well, I got my bike back today and the results are in. I do think that the +4 key is going to go in and I don't think that I need a different exhaust either. I will post the dyno sheet in SE Correction here in a bit. (Can't remember how to use the scanner, wife isn't here).

    it dont look bad bro very little torque dip those pipes aint killing it just the lack of copression is bump the cylinder pressure and that bike should run good. iff ya look back at my old dyno chart i had a huge torque dip with my rineharts and the bike was fat as hell on the bottom hard to tune it out cause the exhaust would linger in the pipes they were to big for the motor and cams .

    Cool. thanks for the report. I think that the +4 key will take that slight dip that is in the beginning out. What do you think, that key would move my curve over about 500 rpm?

    +4 will increase the cranking compression so it's going
    to help with the dip and the tq down low, you might loose a few
    hp up top so don't fret, big bikes want big tq to get moving.

    Face it Little Johnny winter is gone. And you got to wait another year to build it.
    By then you might have enough paid on it to trade it in on a newer one.

    Ride it and have a good time........

    Johnny has spent enough money. I am going to put this key in and that is how it is going to stay for a long time. I want to have lots of things paid for by the turn of the year. Next bike I get will for the wife, she deserves a bike of her choice and do what she wants to it.
