I just got my 2010 sg out of the shop today. MVA heads, SE forged pistons, 58mm tb, D&D exaust, 103 build. Shop did the SE smart tune and it runs like crap. I know I need it tuned, I'm just wondering if I can tweek the smart tune some more.

I don't know what a smart tune is. You can tweek the tune all over the place with the right tuner.

I've got some of that stuff on a 107 , Woods, S&S, SE58mm TB, etc.

That big TB really takes a lot of fine tuning to get right.

I do my own with a TTS.

The real problem in the fine tuning is with the driveability and troddle response.. Start, stop, slow down, hot ,cold and going real slow say a tight turnaround. And make it seamless. Wide open is the easy part.

Can be done. Good luck. May have to fine a really good tuner around where you are.

The heads have 95 cc combustion chambers and sometime HD has some odd shapes there. So many times, or almost always, you have to pick the correct piston for the heads.

So just check all this out or you will maybe have to change pistons. If you used your stock pistons with this head CR would be in the neighbor of 9.0 CR. ( stock head has 84 cc, MVA has 95cc it seems)

SE forged Pistons are very good.
This made me laugh at myself because I tried to use stock pistons with cvo 103 script heads and I wound up with around 8.CRAP:1 CR.
oh well education cost wheather you get it out of a university or off the streats
