Ready to upgrade....need help.

I got a 40hp increase by doing this with a dyno tune

For $1000?

Reason I ask is because my favorite customer at work has challenged me to a 1/4 race. I can't lose. He's got a Harley vrod with lots of aftermarket stuff. It sounds awesome.

You can buy TOR's online:

for $550, or through a dealer.
Or you could get a custom exhaust like Carpenter for $1500. Then you have to tune it. Ca-ching.
If your vin is up to 574812, your tune is highly restricted in terms of power. You can remedy that for a $20 cable and free software. If you spend the $550 on the TOR's, you'll get louder + more power and then you can unrestrict it with the $20 cable and free software.
Just remember that any mod that adds significant power requires re-tuning and you need to consider how you are going to accomplish that.

Some great instructional dope!

Tony,
40 HP!!! With only cans, air & dyno-tune?
Just sounds about twice too much to me?

Do you want to spend as much as he did just to beat him?

The easiest mods for under $1000 is to install TORS, install triple k&n filters on the throttle bodies, and then load Wayne Tripp's TuneEcu tune for that setup. You will kick butt.

Most of us don't have Neville Lush to tune our bikes. How does he do the tuning? Power Commander? Tuneboy?

If you do not have any luck send the V-Rod my way as my beast is hungry and they taste like peanut butter
Of course tell him I am not into pink slips when the bike is a Harley, cash will be good enough

Don't know what this V-Rod has done, but I have eaten the peanut butter outta several with my stock Roadster.
By stock, I do mean the engine, as I did have Trip K&Ns, TORs and a HansO tune at that time.
I haven't had opportunity to run one since the CES & dyno improvements.
@bthorn
You don't say from whense you hail.
I have a set of Roadster TORs in my garage . . .

Standard Roadster dyno's at 125hp - i have 165hp

Reckon save a bit longer and get yourself a new exhaust system (headers and muffler/s) be worth the wait. 160BHP with improved intake , decent exhaust and a good tune. V-Rod ain't going anywhere and you do want to make sure you kick his ass hey.
