Based on a recommendation by Tony (aviscomi) from this forum I visited Throttle-City in Levittown, PA today. http://www.throttle-city.com/index.cfm. Chuck, Owner/operator, was more then accommodating, listened to what I wanted and came up with a 103 upgrade that will achieve my goals. Shop was immaculate and Chuck appeared very knowledgeable. I liked that he didn't push anything on me that I didn't need. In fact he talked my out of some stuff that I would have purchased as I thought it would be beneficial but really wasn't for my application.
Thanks Tony for the recommendation. I will post back after the upgrade and give my opinions on the work and performance then.....

I don't think the SERT or SEST will be an issue for him.

I've heard of them,but don't know of anyone who has used them, other than for oil changes.How could you forget about the legend who is right right around the corner??Does the name Andy Simon ring a bell???Mutiple record holder in almost every facet of the drag racing world!! He is in Langhorne near Perruzzi Nissian.His newphew Larry, of Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's is in Penndel.They both are damn near legends with Harley's,how did you miss them??
I deal with Larry at Larrys Hot Rods and Harleys off New Falls Rd. Didn't care for guy at Throttle City. Talked down to me when I was asking questions. Seemed a little full of himself to me. JMO

Lots of people are learning Chuck is an arrogant ***.. Talks down to a lot of people and is not that great at what he does..
Just did a service on a bike yesterday, he did the last one. Where's the O rings Chuck? LOL. I guess using the plumbers goo is good enough? Did ya really need to tighten the filter with a wrench? Needed a breaker bar to get it off..
Seviced my buddies Fatboy 2 months ago, same thing.. No O rings and had to crush the filter to get it off..
Friend had him do a thundermax and tune his 07 ST.. Had the wires so tight that they ripped apart on his first ride. Went thru 2 sets of plugs cause it wasnt dynoed correctly and then CHucks yells at him like it's his fault. Theres a grand down the drain..
Friend had the big bore kit put on his, we were tighening **** up for weeks after.. LOL, front exhaust bolts fell off..
Good Luck.. I'd use Simons before ever walking into TC.
