That gain is what I would've expected from such a big motor along with all your mods. That intake looked killer nice job ward performance.

Fuel Moto customer service is definitely dope! I received some bent adjustable push rods and they sent some replacements out right away. Definitely my go-to place for motorcycle parts.

Very impressive results on your SE 131 build: peak increases of +10 (HP) and +4.5 (TQ), with special note that the Torque increase was throughout the curve. I wonder how this manifold would respond on a smaller engine (114 / 117) built to a Stage-2? Tom M., Hawthorne Ca. '21 RGS & '22 FXLRS
@MichaelBertini2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for that callout, Tom. I agree; it would be interesting to see how it would perform on a small engine. I'm assuming good numbers too, I'm just not sure if they would look like these.🤘🏼

The reason the Dyno reads lower is because you installed the grudge box. Mine made around 10hp and 5 torque more with the stock transmission. The grudge box robs power to the rear wheel.

That's what another subscriber mentioned. It makes sense, but I find it interesting that Baker claims the opposite. I love hearing what people are experiencing like yourself, because that's the real world results. 👍🏼

Great gains! I was told Grudgebox will drop the HP a bit due to the larger gears, might contribute to some of the loss as well. Love the build!

Oh! Very true. I didn't even think about that and it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the love and support dude!🤘🏼

My grudge box did the same thing. Lowered torque and HP. True statement.

2 things rite off the batt. 1st you dont want a smooth finish for the inside of the manifold . The rougher texture helps and aids in the mixing of the fuel and air . Smooth finish is best for fluilds and liquids. 2nd knowone will see the engraving on the intake.

I am going to stay 117 for a bit (see how long that lasts) I am trying to decide what TB throttle body and injectors to get. TB isnt a concern really the mani is more of getting rid of the plastic stock unit off my 2023 streetglide ST. looking at the S&S 55mm mani and 5.5 injectors not a clue on TB yet. I have the star 30/30 cam going in this week and the S&S cam install kit

@@sublimekid247 I think it would be overkill for a 117, but you might see a small bump in performance. Not sure it would be enough though to warrant the cost.

You nailed it, Ron. All I hear is people talking about HP 🤷🏽♂️ when torque is really where the focus should be, especially on a bagger. If you watch some of my original videos that's what I said from the jump... I was always building for torque. 😬🤘🏼
