    APE claim the numbers in this chart with the 64mm and 550 cam, not that there is anything wrong with your numbers, I had a 103 fxdx that did 116/116 and it was great and you have way more torque than that, my interest in the comparison between what you got and what they say is in the use of different parts from their kit and resulting outcome. No dips in your torque line either so that's a pat on the back for someone.

    Yeah very good torque straight if the line and just keeps pulling hard. Fun to ride. I could go bigger throttle body bigger air cleaner head work different exhaust but have to stop somewhere. It’s also my daily ride so don’t want it over the top. Harley Heaven Ringwood did the work and dyno

    That's very impressive Adrian. Lots of torque from everywhere. Can I ask what total spend was and what that included? No dramas if you'd prefer not to share. 

    Also was any work done to prevent some of the issues facing M8 engines like oil migration?

    All up just under $5k list of part on other comment. It’s basically the Alpha Performance engines 124 stump puller package. Bike has done 29000 k’s and I have had no issues with any of the problems people have been reporting.

    GM, you've been waiting patiently! 
    Cyclerama CR 480 cam, SE extreme ventilator and self modified Freedom sharp curve radius 2-2 exhaust.....and the yanks said it couldn't be done! 
    Tuned on Dynojet 250i, flashed with a Maximum tuner.

    Tuned by EBT Performance. I cannot speak highly enough of Brian's work and efforts!
    If you want a seriously thorough dyno tune in Melbourne, Brian Lennon at EBT Performance in Pakenham is your man.

    It's a drug I tell ya! Happy as f&$k for now, had to hang on tight twisting the throttle on the way home. All while grinning ear to ear haha. Definitely woke the M8 up!

    Signs off earlier than Sheffer's tune, but couldn't be happier, especially when FM didn't want to know me with the Freedom 2-2 exhaust!

    If you do decide you want more it will mean a different exhaust, that one has given it's all, plus a few other bits and bobs, still nowhere near the spend it takes to wring that sort of performance out of a twin cam and I'm a twin cam man.

    There is usually some sort of mating mark Bigfella, that's ok.

    It was only on the one lobe, so thought it might of been the start of something to be concerned about

    That's exactly like the wear on the outside lobe of my front cylinder cam looked like! You're talking M8 I'm talking twin cam. WTF?
