Isn't the drivability more dependend on hardware choices like cams valves heads exhaust and that when you have made those choices there is actually only one tuning optimum?

If you make that many changes like going to duel intakes and MAFs that would require a MegaSquirt. That is almost exactly what I did on my jetski. The MAP&nbsp\\; and IAT has to be pulled out of the fueling equasion and the VE table would require VE numbers out of the range that TTS and Harley allow you to get to. Good tinnking out of the box though.&nbsp\\;

The vibration of the Harley may be a little hard on the heated wire version of the MAF. We are going to look at the new Ford "credit card" MAFs

Here is an older shot of my ski. The Ford MAF now sits right where the brass tubing is in this shot.

Great post but a list of capable tuners with a dyno might be in order. I am looking for someone in Seattle as we have no one up here in Vancouver, B.C.&nbsp\\; Any help appreciated

Whittlebeast. Maybe you could put a MAF in the screamin eagle "heavy breather", kind of looks like the intake in your ski. Would the turbulence of the two cylinders in the intake, spoil the gains of an exact air mass measurement?
