Thanks for all the help guys, I will just do my homework and see what I want to do. I am a skeptic on everything so that tends to help me and also hinder my decisions sometimes.

The Power Vision Auto Tunes. Jamie can load a map to get you close and then you do your tuning runs. After you are done, you still have a Power Vision...A good tuner can probably get you better numbers but you will probably never notice the difference between them and the auto tune...

Either that was a really good buddy or they did not tune anything for that price. Tuning takes at least a few hours and about 100/hr. Not sure I would want that tune.

Wish I would have done this from the beginning when I first got the bike

My dealer only charges $55 an hour and they put 50 miles on the bike. They did something because I don't have any decel popping anymore, what helps also is that My dealer is out in the middle of no were.

Well, I found a good local tuner charges $500 for a good PV tune, custom map he claimed.
I have seen others charge $300 but who knows what they are doing? I heard most HD dealers do fast tuning, didn't get the best out of it. I would talk to ppl in your area, find the best tuner available and spend the money wisely. There is a difference, the additional $200 is better than wasting $300. Either do it right or don't do it at all imao.

This is key (bold) I am going to a indy that is not within the cities area and he is charging me 58/hr to install my cams. Unfortunately he does not have a dyno to tune with or I would have him do it for sure.

I agree 100% thats why I am kind of leaning toward just spending the 500.00. I am going to leave the engine alone for a good while if not forever.
