Looks good


And imo any tuner giving sheets not in sae is hiding something or don't know how to tune. I was trained sae is the way the customer gets there sheet unless asked otherwise I know that may be alittle harsh but it is what it is. So that's Plus 2 on SAE

Yes sir but... what if I had no tuning knowledge and had my bike tuned then the Dyno operator gave me the sheet. I post it here and you guys say...

Hey, post up a proper sheet in SAE. I don't have the sheet... should I go back and get a corrected copy?

Should I just not post it and live with what may be a poor tune? I would like to post whatever I had for advice and comment.

Just me and my .02

Yes if they want it posted it needs to be SAE and they can go back to the tuner and ask for SAE. If they post a different sheet they need to follow it up with SAE just to keep the playing field level.

Should non SAE graphs not be allowed?
I guess it depends on if we want th to use it for a high score dick measuring contest or as a tool to help people decide components etc. The industry standard is SAE. Ill divert to what ever the masses want, but I will call out any sheet I see posted in any other format.

No one ever said that, the SAE, STD, DIN or any other standard has absolutely no bearing on the tune itself, just how the end results are portrayed. It's a correction factor used to correct a run to a set of atmospheric conditions, STD conditions yield higher results that SAE. For accurate comparisons sheets should all be posted in the same format, since SAE is the industry standard that's my vote. I have no problem seeing sheets posted in STD but my stance is they should be accompanied by the SAE sheet so we can compare properly

SAE is the industry standard, but not for the laminated copies.


It doesn't take much to email a copy of a SAE sheet if you left the shop with only STD.

I am not always getting a baseline pull. You will find very few customer that are willing to pay for that time.


I am not posting my tune files. Most of us tuners wont. You want a tune library? Do it somewhere different.


As far as the dyno file? I wont post them either. To easy to take my name off the top and call it yours. This does happen.
