I forget his name but there is a Mechanic at Ray Price that is good, firmer Service Mgr that retired at Shelton's in Goldsboro said he was top notch.

Nelson Dodge (retired 7th GPer) on Posey Farm Rd in Rockfish does a great tune. However he only does Power Commanders. He goes to tng every yr and has the current software updates. 910-875-7701

He also does both cylinders....abt $250...I think..

So I spoke with two of the guys mentioned in this thread. I felt good about both, but better about one. One of them uses dynojet software to do the tune, with no human intervention with the exception of throttling, gear shifting, and setting Afrs for specific Rpms. Anyone
Have any thoughts on this? It's a 3-4 hour process and from what he said, it is a very thorough, and it will render an excellent tune.

1 - Would you mind sharing the cost?


2 - Gang, for those of us who have the PowerVision, what benefit, if any could a Dyno Tuner provide over a novice like myself, running autotune?


Thanks!

Hes the guy in Raeford that was reccomended in this thread. I have not set it up yet. As I'm still thinking about collier wha gave me a better price. Quite a bit better at 225. While price is not going to make my decision, I've got think on it a little bit. I don't want to do it twice.

Yeah I was going to tell you Nelsons but got beat to it. And I won't let Chris Waddell tune a Briggs and Stratton. He's a numbers guy. Don't give a **** how your bike runs afterwards. Told me the andrews 48 was too big a cam for my 08 sg.
