Alberta Dyno Tuners
I live in Edmonton Alberta. I've added a bunch of stuff to my 2020 Fat Boy and now I want to have it properly dyno tuned.
Can anyone recommend a good dyno tuning shop within the area? I tried Welch. They charged me $700+ and I'm not that happy with how the bike runs. I'd like to have someone knowledgeable have a second look at it.
Thanks!

Have you talked to the Tech who did the tune, and may I ask what modifications have you made, what were your expectations, and why are you disappointed with the outcome? You might have a parts compatibility issue. I'm just giving the Tech a Welch the benefit of doubt unless you have already eliminated that possibility.

The bike doesn't seem to be as smooth as before the tune. And the bike stumbles a little when I get on it. Prior to the tune being done I was just using the Powervision Target Tuning with wide-band o2 sensors. I think the target-tune was/is better than the Welch tune.

If you can't find another tuner, I would compare the tunes in WinPV then try some small adjustments on my own then start tweaking. What was the source of the original tune?

The original tune was a target-tune base map provided by Dynojet. I target-tuned the snot out of it. Welch managed to only get a couple of horsepower and torque more than that map.
However power numbers were not my main concern. Driveability was my main focus but like I said, I'm not happy with that. I managed to get a new FuelMoto map to target-tune. I'm going to try that out now.
I would still like to find a reputable tuner here in Alberta just to see what they can do for me. It took me a couple years just to get into Welch and I never really had a good feeling about it. They made me feel like I was more of a burden to them than a customer. That was just my experience though.

Please let me know how that turns out.
Also, I am not familiar with Welch, is that an independent shop in your area?

Myself and quite a few others have had great running, performing engines after getting Ty Troutman at Elev8 Motorsports tune our engines. I know he completely redid the shitty original tune that a different shop did and I paid quite a bit less than you did at Welch. Get in touch with Elev8 Motorsports in Calgary. they are performance Harley guys all the way.
