Looking forward to getting my Voyager on a dyno. Mostly to see where my AF ratio is but it would be good to know how much power she puts out.

Really good numbers, I didn't think they made that much power. Of course, I'm about 6000' higher but I guess correction factors will provide more or less comparable results.

Those are real respectable numbers.

Glad to hear the custom tune made an improvement. Certainly shows how spending the time and money is a worthwhile investment. I just did a custom map on a Triumph Rocket 3 that had a map for the exact exhaust/intake combo, it was severly lean and severly rich in many areas, and we made big improvements in driveability.


I do see a problem with the dyno chart in regards to it's real world accuracy and comparison to other dyno runs. If you look at the upper right hand corner of the graph you will see CF:STD. This is the correction factor being used to display these dyno runs. This STD is a very old (the original c/f used by Detroit in the 1950's) and is not recognized as an accurate c/f these days.
The Society of Automotive Engineers developed the SAE c/f that is the most accurate and widely accepted way to display dyno runs, and that c/f is in the software of every Dynojet Dyno. The STD c/f DOES NOT fully and as accurately as the SAE c/f compensate for all aspects of the prevailing weather conditions, and it is a WIDELY ACCEPTED opinion of reputable dyno owners that any shop displaying dyno runs in STD is just "inflating the numbers". I will show my customers the difference between SAE and STD to educate them. This display of the STD c/f without an explanation to the customer of why this c/f is being used in my and many dyno owners opinion is misleading the customer.

If you are interested in really accurate dyno results contact the shop and ask for the same dyno runs printed out in the SAE c/f. Your numbers will be lower BUT they will be accurate and comparable to the industry standards.

I went to my dyno computer and pulled up the last runs from my Vaquero. The SAE max nmbrs were 84.49 H.P. and 101.71 pnds of torque. Using the STD c/f the numbers jump to 86.14 H.P. and 103.69 pnds torque. Much mo better but not real world usable. The Rocket 3 we just dynoed has SAE max
of 140.41 H.P and 148.32 pnds torque, using the STD c/f they go up to 143.64 H.P. and 151.73 pnds torque.

I theorize your SAE numbers will be in the 85-86 H.P and 104-105 pnds torque range, VERY stout numbers for sure.

Let us know if you can get these runs in SAE and post them up.

I'd really like to see your map. It would be interesting to compare it to the one I'm running. You can email it to jklohman@yahoo.com

Thanks....

Watched the Vids on YouTube, and looks like you got a nice Map for the Vaquero, sure look forward to getting a copy of it and trying it out on mine for a weekend to compare it to the one I am running now.
