Over my time here i believe i've read posts that say some are getting 70ish hp from there jetting set ups. i'd like some details if this is correct.

My bike = '03 1600 with ported manifold, BAK and 2 into 1 pipe, elevation: SoCal.

What size jets are you using or what I/O configurations are needed for this?

I think the ones with that high of HP are the 1700's. Have you had yours dynoed yet? With your mods and correct jetting I would guess that your at a little over 60 HP and about 90 TQ.

Yeah I'm at 60hp now. I guess I am not recalling correctly.

A properly tuned carb, air kit, pipes, dyna3k or speedstar ignition module which is considered a stage II, avg's about a 20% increase in Hp and about, 5, 8% increase in Tq. This is based on the dyna charts on the speedstar accessories page. There will be variables as well, ported manifold, hand port vs after market, pipes, some pipes will give better low end tq, some mid, some high, and of course the proper tuned carb.

My 1600 runs just shy of 70hp and 99tq, but I'm running the 42HSR carb with Nemesis manifold, my own designed air kit, Dooley pipes, Dyna3k, and I tune my carb, I have yet to see a decent wrench tune a carb, maybe 1 out of 20 knows what they are doing.

If your at 60hp your doing good and your jetting must be Ok. I beleive stock HP for the 1600is about 52HP and tq is mid 80's.

I see. Maybe a 42mm carb is the missing link.

I just peddle real fast.

I tire so quickly.................

alright, alright......

Just had my roadstar on the dyno today. (IT was free at lynnwood cyclebarn, as they let the first 20 bikes get done for free as part of the bike show and burnout.) I was a little reluctant, but figured it was free, so what the hell. Results. 68.9 HP, 99.9 ft lbs of torque 1st run, 68.1 HP, 98.7 ft lbs. on the second one. Here's the nitty gritty. Exhaust gutted, with the stage 3 drilling mod. Intake is ported. Radiused is more of a better term, as the "T" has been cut down so the flow is better, even on both sides. Dynojet 195 in the carb, with a K&N intake manifold and the stock air box cut out on the bottom to let in more air, stock ignition and engine otherwise.
Questions...what are the stock numbers for the 1700? (2007) I'm curious as to what the gain was for the work I put into it and cost of less than $150.
Is there anything else I can do increase the numbers, inexpesnively. I know there will be answers saying "HP costs money, i get it, but with what I've done so far it's been a good gain. I'm only interested in more HP and FT LB because I'm 6'5" and 300 and like to get a little more oomph. I'm thinking maybe the dyna ignition, but what real gain will there be.
After I retire from the military and I have more money than time, and the warranty is gone, I'm going to try my hand at turbo charging this bike. Insanity? yes. Doing it anyway. going to be unique. I'm sure that's enough to digest for now. Thanks for any and all replies.
