So I am 800 miles into my 95" build and curious if a dyno tune is needed.
The bike runs great no complaints just don't know if there is any unforeseen potential that I am missing out on by not having the bike tuned?
The builder used my SERT to narrow down my set up.
Build includes:
2004 FXDXI
SE high performance heads p/n 16952-99
SE flat top pistons
Compression releases
Andrews 37G cams
Cylinders bored to 95"
SE intake
Thunder header
I was thinking of having Bob at RC cycles in Hayward run the tune.
So question is:
Will the tune just give me hp/tq numbers or will I notice a seat of the pants difference from having it tuned?
Kinda in the same boat. I am only 250 into my build with pcv. Mine seems to be running real well so i am not concerned with. Retune yet. im going to wait until i get a couple grand on the clock before i consider it.
With that kind of build I would. Most important is really knowing who's tuning it. If the operator knows what he's doing you should notice a difference in both but most important in just the smoothness of going through the gears.

I have heard a few people recommend this guy at RC Cycles so that is the way I am leaning.
I imagine the tune might take out a few flat spots that I may not know exist?
