2020 RGS S&S 128 Tuner Problems

G’day all. I’ll list my build below and attached the dyno chart:
2020 Road Glide Special (with RDRS)
S&S 128 barrels and pistons
CR480 cam
S&S Cam Plate and Oil Pump
Feuling Vented DS
Stock heads
55mm TB
5.5 high flow injectors
SE heavy breather (soon to be MJK) aircleaner
Custom FAB28 mid-length exhaust.
Maximus tuner
This is a pretty average result from the tune. 113HP/134TQ. I’ve seen 117’s with better numbers. A few things stand out - scales on the dyno chart aren’t uniform and are on the wrong sides. As a result the chart looks weird and the lines don’t cross at 5250rpm like they should. Peak TQ lasts for about 1000rpm then drops away sharply. HP is terrible. As a reference A.P.E’s 128 stump puller with practically the same build (except 6.2 injectors) gives 135HP/151TQ (yes with stock heads and 55mm tb). So I don’t waste anyone’s time. I know I’ll get generally better figures with a full-length exhaust like a billet cat but I can’t run a full length as it has 14” rear shocks and I need the added height because I like the twisties. Basically, this build should perform a lot better than it does, something is seriously wrong so if anyone’s got suggestions...

A-D, no expert on tuning mate but would suspect the RDRS is what's holding it back.
Both Steve Cole of TTS and Fuel Moto using Dynavision had to develop workarounds for the RDRS on the newer tourers, unsure if the maximus tuner gas the ability.

Thanks mate, I was thinking the same. Judging by the look of the tune, I think it was lazy. I doubt they even considered RDRS. Neither had I until someone mentioned it in a FB performance group, saw the write up Fuel Moto did on it. Haven’t found anything with Maximus
