Dealer dyno/chip value....
I own a 2006 FLSTI heritage w/ D&D tuned pipes and the stage 1 air filter... so,
I'm trying to decide if I should:
(a) just install a stage 1 air intake kit and have the chip flashed for the sum of approx. $200.00
(b) install an efi tuner which requires 4 hours dyno time for $800.00
I'm wondering just how much bang you get for your buck with (b)?
thoughts appreciated.
regards, m

Option b (bang for buck) is going to depend on the technician who dynotunes your bike, if you go that route, find someone higly regarded near you and use the tuner he recommends. I was a little disappointed with the work done by my dealer and now I am getting re-tuned with an indy.

whoa... what is an "indy"? Sorry if that's a stupid question but I'm fairly new th HDs and I don't know what that means. I AM however, near enough to the old original Mancuso's in Houston to let them do it.
Anyone have any experience with Mancuso's? Otherwize... its Harly Davidson of the Woodlands, Texas or.... Texan Harley in Conroe.

Have had both & a race tune, if properly done, is WAY beter than the reflash. You can tune the bike precisely to your riding style, and the difference is very noticeable.

Buy a power commander from Jamie at www.fuelmoto.usa, and he'll preprogram it for your specific exhaust and intake and all you'll have to do is plug it in and ride. Three hundred bucks and you're done.

You might want to call or email TTS and ask who they recommend in your area

I guess the point I am trying to make is that you not assume your Harley dealer (and a SERT/SEproST) is your only choice for a dyno-tune. Ask around and find someone experienced and competent.
