I took a trip down to Lee Performance to get a custom map. Seven hour drive at 350 miles each way. I drove 14 hours in the span of 20 hours.
On my first tank, I filled it up at 150 miles. On the second tank I made it to 150, but the gas light hadn't come on, so I decided to push it and see how many miles I could get. Well at 175 the bike hicuped- so I pulled off and filled it up. Over 5.1 gallons in my 5.3 gallon tank. That's how I found out my gas light isn't working. Guess I'll get the dealer to fix it under warrenty.
The seat was great for the first four hours then butt burn for the remander of the trip =(
Got my map set up- took the bike for a spin. After a couple final adjustments I had the perfect map for my bike. The bike behaves now. The map I had used from dynojet was too rich so sea foam and new plugs are in order to clean things back up. Ok drum roll......
65.12 rwhp @ 4500
86.76 ft/lbs @ 3250
Based on the stock run for another 1600, that'd be a gain of 12 ft/lbs and 10 hp over stock. The guy who's dyno I'm using ended up with 63.8 hp and 86 ft/lbs.
I asked Lee about going to stage 2. He says that due to the design of the throttle bodies on the Vulcan- the amount of air the engine can take in is less that what would be needed to see big gains in head work, cams, etc. Lee said that the stage 2 would give me maybe 5 hp and cost about $3k. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
