Looks great. That's one hell of a nice dyno sheet. What all have you done to get near 90 rwhp and still keep that torque curve so high?

I bet these hopped up Beemers wouldn't pull those kinds of RWHP on a dyno, Its pretty impressive, so if the rear wheel is 90 what is the crank? 105? 110? better than a beemer or a harley(obviously). :huh2:

Harleys don't make much power at all. Very low. Lot's of torque, but no power which is more a function of RPM. I hear them claiming to make power, and I suppose if you dropped 20 grand in better components you could drag them, but stock they are pathetic.

Pipes are very mysterious. So many complex forces at work - different types of wave fronts and things and patterns of resonance and cancelation. I don't pretend to understand it. But what I did was go to the dyno with a couple different versions of my pipe and paid to see the difference. It seemed that the longer the pipe, the more torque it made - AND, and this surprised me greatly, it didn't suffer at top end. For a while I was going with a very low restriction concept, but I could see that the Guzz DOES like some back pressure resistance (more than I thought).

 

I have made an addition modification since the dyno, and judging seat-of-the-pants, it is better than ever with a Honda-like rush to redline where it just gets stronger and stronger. On top of that, it is QUIET now. A great relief. I suppose 90 RWHP on a shafty would equal about 110 at the crank. Maybe more.
