Default Chose my engine builder..Throttle-City

Based on a recommendation by Tony (aviscomi) from this forum I visited Throttle-City in Levittown, PA today. http://www.throttle-city.com/index.cfm. Chuck, Owner/operator, was more then accommodating, listened to what I wanted and came up with a 103 upgrade that will achieve my goals. Shop was immaculate and Chuck appeared very knowledgeable. I liked that he didn't push anything on me that I didn't need. In fact he talked my out of some stuff that I would have purchased as I thought it would be beneficial but really wasn't for my application.

Thanks Tony for the recommendation. I will post back after the upgrade and give my opinions on the work and performance then.....

I too deal with Chuck at Throttle City and he has never steered me in the wrong direction. Straight to the point and no b/s. Highly recommended.

Dropped the bike off to Chuck at Throttle-City today and pick it up next Saturday. Hopefully the weather will co-operate so I can get some riding time with the 103.

NJ guys. This shop is located off the first exit on the PA turnpike. You go over the bridge through the toll and get off almost immediately. It is then a 5-10 minute ride. Very easy to get to......

He (Chuckie) "dialed" in my Nightrain perfect...running Martin Bros pipes & a Wimmer Intake there was no chance of me finding a "canned" map. Actually, he was a bit suprised at the numbers it put out.
