doesn't take much to make 500hp

my harley truck made 400rwhp/520rwtq on a low number dyno (mustang dyno at full throttle kustomz in oxnard, ca). and I just have a 6lb lower, longtube headers, JLP ram air intake, steigmeir ported eaton/plenum/tb, and an SCT big air MAF.

it passed smog legally at the gold star/test only station last september. They just plugged into the obd2 port and that was it, the truck doesn't have cats either at the moment.
