For close to 10 years we've been working, refining the process for making more power out of EFI equipped Harley motors, reliably and relatively inexpensively. Ways to get more power without over-stressing the engine, without putting the warranty in jeopardy, without having MPG suffer.
I have seen hundreds of dyno charts from guys that have spent two, three or even four thousand dollars, and they are producing the same or less power than we are consistently getting for less than one thousand dollars. PLUS they are opening up the motor and increasing the possibility of warranty problems.
I have shared information on various forums, piecemeal, what was relevant to the conversation. Most of the time it seems to be completely over-looked, as folks seem to be in favor of spending lots of $, because "you get what you pay for".
The hard truth is that, in the motorcycle industry, one is Very Likely to NOT get what they pay for, when looking for safe, reliable power increases.
I was at a Bike Show this weekend, and it was just sad to hear story after story of folks chasing just a moderate increase in power, spending thousands, and they were still not a lot better off than when they started, and sometimes worse off.
Just tonight I was reading yet another account of a guy (on another forum) that has already spent just shy of $3000, his power is mediocre, and he is contemplating spending another 3-4 thousand dollars, and everyone is agreeing with him, that is what he will need to do.
Anyway, it pushed me over the edge. I am going to start working on an article that lays everything out in one place, showing how to get a significant increase in reliable, safe, power. A plan that can be done in steps, and does not cost big bucks. A plan that benefits from synergy and does not come with warranty hassles.
I am leaving in 9 days for a 40+ day road trip, lots to do before then, so it will probably not get done before I leave. Likely I will do it while on the road.
