FP3 vs Dyno
FP3 vs Dyno
I've been going back & forth trying to decide on buying either an FP3 or getting bike dyno tuned .
Will I see close to same performance using FP3 as I would having bike dyno'd ? Price is close
to the same . I've just installed a Big Sucker & retuned my LCD Fuelpak , but want a little more
power especially riding 2-up .

They aren't comparable, you need a tuner to get the bike on the dyno, be either FP3 or any of the others out there.
If you mean FP3 canned map vs dyno map, obviously the dyno is the best answer as it will dial your tune for your exact bike and engine state.

A good dyno tuner all day. You should talk to the dyno guy and see what device they prefer and buy that one. Alot of people will say a canned map is close enough but after spending thousands of dollars i like to know my bikes running the best it possibly can.

To answer your first question (FP3 vs Dyno) these two options are on complete opposite ends of the tuning spectrum. The FP3 is really your basic, entry-level, budget-friendly tuner. On the other hand, a dyno tuning session is meant to achieve near-perfection results. With that being said, if you want to go the dyno tune route you really need to first contact local dyno tuner and ask for their advice. They have different preferences for what tuners they like to work with. I have a dyno service in my state that doesn't even need an after-market tuner and prefer to write over the factory ECM. Also keep in mind, the dyno tune is only going to be as good as the person operating it.

they're writing over the factory ECM . I've got friends that use them & swear by their work . I
just need to slow down & wait my turn to get on the dyno . They also build race engines & stay
covered up . I tend to get impatient .

I believe that is what these guys are doing . I know that they don't use a tuner so I'm guessing

I own a FP3 and do not plan on getting a dyno tune. I'm happy.
If you do not own a tuner yet - get a Power Vision from someone like Fuel Moto with one of their maps. Then at some later date you can get it dyno tuned using your PV.
Just about no one who tunes with a dyno will accept a FP3 so if you go with a dyno you will still need to buy a tuner like PV or TTS.

Rather than using Flash programs or genic maps that do not tune your bike specifically, Rob`s Dyno works directly with your factory ECU, and the performance parts you have installed, to tune your bike individually and optimally. "
