Well, finally got the pig dyno'd. I never did do a baseline, so I have no idea how much power my goodies added.
No sense in farting around:
Looks like 106 HP @ around 8800rpm & 71ft-lbs of torque almost across the board.
Now, why the sad face? I've got Dale's Stage II jet kit, K&N pods, timing advancer, and his high pipe slip on. I installed all with the recommended base settings, and over a period of 6 months, adjusted the needles up and down to get rid of stumble.
I thought I'd be closer to 115hp and a little bit more torque. The Dyno guy said that it was corrected HP for sea level and all that but to be honest, I've seen a million dyno graphs and this one just doesn't seem to have much info. No Barometric pressure, humidity, temp so I could at least plug some #'s in and recalculate. I think we're at around 1100 feet or so, and it was about 60ish this morning.
Looks like I'll be getting Dale's stepped header (Dale Walker, Holeshot Performance) sooner than I thought. The only thing the Dyno operator mentioned that it looked a little lean at cruise. So, I can dial in maybe a 1/4 turn out on the A/F screws to see if it helps that but otherwise, I think I have everything set to where it needs to be.

Yeah, I really hope I can sneak away from work this week to get another run in on the dyno. It seems to scream towards redline a bit faster. Both due to the header and minor tweaks I did to the needles (tad richer). Of course it could all be in my head as the weather is even cooler.
