Default Dynotune done today! Wow

Sorry for the long post!
Holy crap had her on the dyno for the first time ever, and what a difference! Sweet power through all gears, crisper throttle and significant pull. All around best money I have spent. I put on a pcIII about 10 days ago loaded a canned map #812-016 and ran ok, but I burned through some serious gas. Fuel mileage went down to around 31mpg's. The dyno guy showed me that my a/f ratio at around 3000rpm's was off the chart at around 11.5. He was asking if I had changed any values of the canned map. The point is like many guys on here say in order to get her dialed in correctly have it dyno'd. I don't thind I would of had her tuned if the mpg did not take a dump. Thank god it did! If anyone is thinking of getting it tuned just do it. The tuner told me I should expect 42 to 44mpg now. Also explained to me that my true duals are taking about 3-4 horses away!

Thanks for the info. I added the PCIII also and my mileage has gone down. With a 5 gallon tank, an extra 10 mpg makes a big difference on longer trips. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to have it dyno'd?

Congrats on getting your scoot dialed in!

+1 on a healthy tune, seems to make a difference in oil temps also.

Went for a good long ride, and ended up with about 41 mpg thats with me cracking the throttle quite often enjoying the found power. I'm sure it will be better with normal riding, not hot roddin!
