What can I expect from a custom dyno tune?

"Mail Order" or "Canned" Tunes are not a guaranteed tuning solution for your motorcycle. You can take 10 of same make and model of with the same modifications and each tune will be a little different to get the same results. The advantages of a custom tune allow you to both maximize the peformance of your motorcycle while maintaining excellent ridability and longevity to your motorcycle's engine. We do not tune just for wot and max power. Our custom maps include changes to all rpm's and throttle positions. A number of our customers are amazed at the difference in their motorcyle after a custom tune.

A custom map usually takes 1-2 hours. The number of pulls varies. Keep in mind when doing a custom map you are not just doing pulls at WOT. To do complete map I start at 100% and work backwards. Pulls are made at 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%, 10%, 5%, 2%, 0% covering as much of the rpm range as possible.

Air/Fuel ratio targets are as follows (Percentages are Throttle Positions)

12.8 to 13.0 @ 100%, 80%, 60%

13.5 @ 40%

14.0 @ 20%

14.7 @ 10%, 5%, 2%, 0%.

It has been my experience that these targets offer the best of everything including max power, throttle response, engine longevity, fuel economy.

You can expect girls. Girls get moist for a custom tune. You really think some big-titted chick is going to let her sweater puppies ride all up and down your back (and then up and down your front later) if you're engine is all fuxx0red and you're puffing smoke at WOT?

I am waiting on the exhaust gaskets and last of my stuff to come in next week. Once I get it all in I'll be giving you a call. Any chance of an opening around the first/second week in Feb? Prolly on a Monday or Tues.

I am sure I can make it happen.

Even though winter is approaching I wanted to bring this thread to the top. I have had a few people tell me that I am little expensive for a tune and that there are other shops who do them for $50.00 to $100.00 less.

So once again be sure you have a full understanding what you are getting for the money you are spending for a tune. There is more to tune then just Wide Open Throttle. Below is a repost of everything I do for $200.00
