If you read my website, you will see that I have a different philosophy from most builders when it comes to horsepower. My philosophy is that the HD engine was designed to produce torque rather than horsepower. Most builders and also technicians at Harley dealerships emphasize high horsepower numbers where I emphasize high torque numbers. I believe that it is better to enhance what the engine was built for instead of trying to make it into something that it wasn’t designed for. It’s like trying to take a diesel engine and make it into a high revving high horsepower engine. Yes, you can get a lot of high revving HP out of the Harley engine at the cost of reliability.
The majority of dealerships only advise you of what products that they are told to sell. They haven’t tried and researched other engine components that are on the market, so they only recommend what they normally use over the years. There have been countless customers that have been misinformed about their performance enhancements. The majority of customers are looking for power that they can feel from the crack of the throttle, not power that comes on after 4,000 RPM. They want to be able to open the throttle a little without having to gear down when going up a hill. They are not looking to break a land speed record or pass a crotch rocket on a road course. They are looking to pull away from their buddy at a stop light…pull away at a 5th gear roll on…throttle out of a curve w/o clicking down two gears. My objective is to fulfill those needs and to change the way people look at HP vs. TQ.
I am always researching products and trying to develop better products or modify existing products to enhance your bike riding experience.
