Not complaining just asking for a Straight answer about the dyno charts posted, but just forget it.

This ROCKET FAN does appreciate Bob Carpenters continuing work
but I prefer my own head/cam combo it flows pretty good.

be like xmas come early next week when the carpenter crew unveil their new goodies for the Rocket, sounds like they have street cams coming and I have family in atlantic city so an 800 mile ride, little family time and an 800 mile ride home with a built engine....Crap gotta keep the stock pistons and rings from what iv'e read hwy miles are the worst for breaking in a motorcycle.

no doubt, and when you modify a bike unless you swap pistons(rings) the bike can be ridden out normally right?

Scott from Brisbaine has Nev cams, CES exaust, and Ramair filter. 160+ ft lbs from 2700-5500 rpm. 170 hp at 6000 rpm, and perfectly smooth.

i want power without sacrificing reliability. I'll use every bit of power I have and will grenade the motor so maybe it's naive for me to think lower rpm's = better reliability but thats the way i'd go.
