Interesting comparison, are you running the T-Max with your PC? I'm in the process of rebuilding my motor on my 07, spun the left flywheel and damaged my left side case... Got all that fixed, still waiting on tappets, pushrods and specialty tools to install the right side bearings... I've got a tuner lined up in Tacoma when I'm ready to trailer it up there to have it tuned... With the motor modifications that I've done I'll be looking at numbers somewhere in the neighborhood of 187/157 hp/tq if the tuner can get it tuned in with the T-Max... I may have to go with the SEST, not sure yet... Here's the mods I've done to the motor;
1. S&S Superstock 79cc heads (messed up here, should have got the 89cc heads)
2. JIMS 113 ci stroker kit (reverse dome pistons -3.5 cc's)
3. Flywheels welded to crank pin
4. JIMS Roller Rockers
5. JIMS Hydrosolid Tappets
6. JIMS Adjustable Pushrods
7. S&S Auto compression release kit
8. SE 211 Cams
9. Left side case Timkin bearing upgrade
10. SE Cam bearing upgrade
11. Lefty SE case bearing for right side case
12. T-Max Autotune ECU
13. PC set at 10 lbs of boost
14. AIM VP-Pro Charger Kit (may have to go to the CF2)
Other mods;
1. Arnott Air Shocks
2. Hogwired 120 watt amp w/speakers
3. Dakota Digitals (including boost gauge and cylinder head temp gauge)
4. Ultimate Seat
5. Bagger Brace
Future mods;
Depends on what breaks
...
Yeah, I know overkill
... I really wasn't looking to do this in the beginning but once the flywheels went south on me, I decided to upgrade
...
The numbers you gave are typical for a stock TC motor, a good bang for the buck
... I agree on the install, the PC took half the time to install then the turbo but both are very nice kits and the after sale service is excellant... Some tuners out there are having problems getting the T-Max to tune in, not sure why but they are...
