Finally got a chance to get to a reputable dyno shop, Cycle House Performance off of Watson Rd in St. Louis.
They've got a Bazzaz Principia dyno which apparently reads 15% lower than what Dynojet shows, so it's similar to a Superflo dyno in numbers. That said, it made 155.5 hp and 82.9 ft/lbs of torque. In Dynojet numbers, that equates to 178.8 hp and 95.3 ft/lbs of torque. As I recall, mine made 162/85 on a dynojet in stock trim. That dyno isn't available now, so eventually I'll have to put mine back to stock and take it to Cycle House again for a "stock" run.
Jerry (the owner of Cycle House) saw the air/fuel display on my bike and watched it at the end of the runs, it was reading 11.6:1 or so and he'd mentioned if I leaned it out up top I'd see another 5-7 hp easily since it was so rich. Well, there's a wrinkle to that. My bike was initially dyno tuned, but for the last couple of months, it's been ROAD tuned at speed, as in logged at whatever I was riding at. On occasion (more often than not) I did exceed the posted speed limits in an effort to capture valid data. Apparently the RAM air effect does work. The logs showed an AFR of 12.5-12.8:1, which is what I was after on the road. I guess what this means is, even though it shows as running extremely rich on a dyno, it's not rich while out on the road, and is potentially making even more power than what was observed on said dyno. It's possible I broke 183-185 hp, but without that forced air induction to prove it out, I guess I'll never really know for sure. I will say this, the bike was fast before, now it's even faster. Looks like it's a solid 10% gain in power from the exhaust and tuning. I'll take it.
 
Those are very impressive numbers! You do bring up a great point about the ram air affect. What about a leaf blower aimed at the airbox intake during a dyno run? It's not perfect, but you'd get 100mph airflow:) Yes, I'm serious:black_eyed:
 
No, I've stayed busy for the last 18 months straight. Just figured I'd set myself up for a little bit of torture maybe and offer up some deals, pre-black friday.
 
im iterested in a xb9s set up/slip on what is the cost with shipping to 12586? thank you/besides a k&n air filter what else has to be done?
 
Ok, Mike has pulled the plug on the website, so getting a tune from him directly now is not an option.


However,



I am now offering a turn-around service to have _your_ ecm reprogrammed to match my exhaust systems for both XB 9's and 12's. Order an exhaust and the tune package, I'll notify you when you need to send in your ecm. Figure you'll be without the ecm for 1-2 weeks tops. Both will get shipped back, ready to install. This applies to all year XB's.

If you already have one of my exhaust systems and never got the tuning done, shoot me a PM and I'll get you what you need.
 
I am very interested in the RT-1 for my 2009 xb9sx but concerned about tuning since none of my local shops are willing to touch the ecm. I noticed There used to be a tuning option available on Dean Adams site but I do not see it any more. Is the eeprom still available or are we SOL since xopti took down his site? Thanks in advance!
 
I have one of deans RT-1 ,great pipe, I am using a ecm from EBR , Which I think is tuned for a D&D not sure, which is some what similar , Runs well with minimal deceleration popping, just until EBR does a tune for his pipe which is on there list to do. I am sure Dean can and will do a better job of explaining to you than I did,

I had Jacob order one from you for my 2015 EBR 1190...by the way the 2 you made for my XBs are amazing!! Anyway I might see my EBR exhaust by April 1 when I come home from Kuwait?
 
I placed an order a month ago for a D&D from ebay and got a message yesterday stating that it would be another 3-6 weeks before shipment! I couldn't stand waiting another month or more for it, so I cancelled the order and immediately went over to Dean's site and placed an order. If I have to wait another 3-6 weeks for anything, I want the best. I had read good and bad things about the D&D unit, but I have never read a bad word about Dean's systems. I also really like that he uses US steel for his product, I work for a small appliance shop and we push US built product over all others. Looking forward to this big time!!!
