Every dyno is different I guess....just a little below norm IMO.
It is a little lower than some I have seen, but most people also go ahead and put on a U/D balancer when apart, I did not which would proprably put me by itself 470-473hp + a better header would add a few also. Bottom line for the $$$$ I'm happy.

XS Power 1 7/8 stainless long tubes. As mentioned above a little power was left on the table maybe with the headers. I would imagine between the cone inside the collector on the higher end headers and minor differences there is maybe 5-15hp lost on these headers. They also took a little ( and I mean minor) massaging for adequate clearance at the steering shaft and rt frame rail. I think for the $$$ they can't be beat. The 1 7/8 I looked at ranged from 900 - 1200. The XS Power were about 400 so you get what you pay for right? ( I really feel like I got more than I paid for in this case and would do it again in a heartbeat.)
400 for 40hp or 1000 fo 50hp? You decide.
