What are you hoping for - 110/120 with 150 ft/lbs...?
Should be nice and smooth.
The target #s are 115hp & 125ft lbs....stock crank, so this is a conservative build set up for longevity. I don't go very far (with 2 little kids at home) so I ride just a few thousand miles per year, mostly coastal/canyons. In fact, I ride the same roads as I take the Turbo on, the bike enables me to scout them pretty good!
That should cruise very nicely. The last V twin I had was in a Buell and although it made around 120hp (and gobs of torque) I found the short wheelbase fairly uncomfortable out on the highway, but in the city it was a wheelie machine...
It'll be neat to see the numbers if they become available.
spcn Shovel coming up! (Handlebars and wheels just for mock-up) 53' Panhead going down! Because everyone needs a rat bike Just pulled the engine in this photo. 1954 18' Century Resorter w/sbc repower. Yet another project/impulse buy. I'm sloooowly learning not to continue with this behavior 99' Ocean Blue Metallic 6spd C2 76' Mercury Capri w 4spd. Made in West Germany. Bought it to do an engine swap. Still haven't! 95' customized FLSTN 42' Indian Scout 741
06' Ultra Classic. A two wheeled sofa.
Edit: Seeing all of this stuff is a good reminder that I really need to start thinning the herd. I didn't even include the square body srw crewcab 4x4 project or the suburban. The Chrysler GEM that I bought to do a gas conversion. The RV that I haven't used in years, or the tw200 that goes on the back of it. And, of course there's more. This was a good exercise. Time to place some ads. But... the turbo stays for life!
And, it's good to see other two-wheel enthusiasts here!

That's wild! I've never run into anyone else with one. Did you post a photo of it here already?
I haven’t posted a photo. I don’t have a digital copy, just old style print photos. I’ll be pulling my boat out of storage in a couple of days. Will snap a photo and post it.
Well, the bike is 99% back together, and has been heat cycled and dyno tuned.
The reason the graphs looks so similar is due to the fact that the old cams (Wood 555s) and the new cams (Wood 777s) are quite similar in profile...stock cams would look very different and fall off way sooner.
I like how at 2k rpm you almost have more torx available with the 777 than you did peak with the 555. That is a very healthy and linear power increase. It should be a lot of fun to ride, I suspect you can 'hear' the cam...
