Oh ya 1 more thing. Keep notes based on your "pocket dyno" ( *** you progress thru each run ) about how each tune performed. If for some reason the tune starts getting worse, then you have another "fallback" point.

Thanks man, yea I started putting stuff in a notebook in the garage next to the bike. I've read so much and watched so many videos on powervision I think I overheated my brain. It was actually pretty easy to navigate through

Well you got bigger "nads" than me. I got all the stuff ( and read all the S&!t ) to run the autotune on my SEPRT. But I chickened and did the Dyno.

I flashed the canned map from Dynojet for my configuration onto my 48 and it runs great. I haven't had the want to try to "improve" upon their tune, since it seems to work so well.
