A dyno tune for $100? Hang around and see how long he takes, and ask questions. It's not hard to tune it quickly for max power at WOT, but I'm sure you want rideability, and reasonable gas mileage at cruising throttle settings. If you're getting a full, incremental custom tune for $100, in my mind that's a bargain. In Australia, a local DynoJet operator charges around $450 for that, and that's about normal over here. That's why I've gone Tmax with auto-tune.
Good luck with it.

Just noticed yours is a carby bike. Are you sure you're not just getting a dyno run to give you a power readout?

OK, I see where there tuning it. I guess FI is more pricey to tune.

Thanks for the heads up, Mike. Its definitely a tune. My buddy took his carby bagger there last weekend and got 2 more hp and 8 more pounds of torque. He said it was the best $100 he spent on his ride so I'm really looking forward to it. I'll hit DynoDave with questions for sure telling him I want street able power with a broad torque curve. Now I'm really lookin forward to the weekend!!!!
Cheers,
Jason.

Okay guys. Here it is.. It was full dyno tune.. DynoDave said one jet was rich and the other was lean causing the motor to run way hot... He made the adjustment and increased horsepower by 8 horses and tq by about 5 foot lbs.. She now is running 77 horses with 93 lbs of torque. She is a lot smoother but crisper throttle response and even more importantly, you could almost lay your hand on the heads after a ride around the block. All for A STRAIGHT UP $100!!!!!
Although the guys were cool as heck and I tipped them $20 to get some beers tonight... Good karma, right?
im now sending all my buds there!
Thanks guys!!!

If it's a tune, get it done, and tell all your friends. In Australia, $100 just gets you a dyno run for a power graph. I know a power run should only take 2 minutes (maybe 5 minutes if you include strapping the bike down), but that's the reallity over here.
