Sounds like a solid fellow... I wonder if I've seen him out at Elmo or Bonneville? I'm terrible with names, but I can usual place a face. It's a shame he doesn't want to dive into the ECU flashing, but I totally understand why.
Those victory numbers are nice. I've done a number of 88" -> 96"+ Harley motors lately... that's about on par HP-wise with what they make... I think my friends 106 made 120ish, but it was suffering from a serious lack of head/intake flow over 3K rpm, IMHO. I tend to run 'em a little richer than that... I find that they feel a little smoother that way, though best power is usually in that 12.5 -> 13.5 sweet spot. Most modern motors make about the same torque per cc... it's just where in the RPM they make it that makes for cool looking dyno sheets.
