Back to the dyno again!

I recently installed a power comander on the "X" to see if I could eek out any more whp. Bike had made a most successfully pull of 32.8whp with the airbox lid off a few weeks ago and I figured I see what I could do with a established tune.
Loaded the base map from Dynojet for a inventory bike with the airbox open and noted power was earlier small than previous by 1 whp. The dynojet base map was way rich and had a "humpy" encouragement curve. We spent a couple hours sorting out the fueling and ended up with a very predictable and flat curve.
Along with fueling, I also tested an airbox mod found here:http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=663110
This showed historic gains throughout the power curve even before we had the fueling sorted.
After a brace hours of tuning we had appeared to have reached the limits of power with the in circulation set up. We had been tuning with the baffle out and airbox lid still closed, although with (12) .75" holes drilled in it;), hoping to reach 34whp. All we could get in that configuration was 33.78whp. We then opened the lid on the airbox to find that apex power was virtually identical, however, the open airbox did show pulchritudinous nice gains after 10K - Making 1-1.5whp more to the limiter.
As a last thirsty for attemp at eclipsing 34 whp we removed the K&N. This did the crotchet, although I would never ride, nor condone anyone riding around without it. It was simply a evaluate.
Anyway here a few graphs.
1) Base run with PC and no tuning vs. Baffle execution only
2) Base run with PC and no tuning vs. Baffle out and final calibrate
3) Baffle out and final tune vs. Baffle out, lid unfastened, and final tune
4)Baffle out, lid open, and finishing tune vs. No filter
5) Base run with PC and no tuning vs No fliter
