Hey Mike,
Most dyno sheet results show higher torque numbers than horsepower. I recently had my bike tuned but the results are a bit puzzling to me. The results were 104 horse and 96 torque, sae corrected. Can you suggest why the torque number is much lower than the hp? SE Glide with the 103, stock other than D & D Fatcat, HiFlow and R/T. I realize you did not due the tune and can't vouch for the dyno. My concern is could there be a problem with either my bike or the tune? Bike runs great, dyno tune was done on a low 70 degree day, good cool dense air. Love the numbers if they are accurate!
Thanks in advance.

I'll bet your torque curve is flatter than most........

With stock cams, I would have expected the tq to be higher than hp but the D&D pipe may be the clue. It's a very good hp pipe and you may have aa set of head castings that move a little more air (differences between castings) allowing them to take better advantage of the pipe. Do the hp and tq lines cross at 5250rpm? If they do not, the scaling may be off (though the "max values" in the description should be accurate). Another possibility is a slipping clutch. The stock 07L springs are very soft and require a change to the SE spring for even mild upgrades. If this was not done with the 103 upgrade it needs to be done (did not get the year of your bike but the SE models had this spring installed from the factory). Good numbers!!
