Sounds like he is just trying to make you happy. Never heard of being able to estimate the readings like that and change them and try to tell you something else , sounds like b.s. to me .How is he going to give you a new sheet without another run ? Think about it , all info is saved on dyno pc , he could easilly give you joe blow's dyno run with your name on it, heard of it being done.Go to a real dyno guy .

UPDATE FROM TUNER
Got a call from the tuner today. He was concerned that my numbers were not what HE had expected either. After several hours of looking, phone calls and such, he discovered that his "Atmospheric conditions" settings on the dyno were way off. He said that it will not affect the tune, but it will affect the peak numbers and the curve ever so slightly.......my question was....."HOW SLIGHTLY" after correcting the "Atmospheric conditions" and running everything back through.........
101 hp and 107 tq!!!!!
Now thats what I am talking about! Just to keep my credibility, I have requested a new dyno sheet!
Ok, not as much as I had hoped for, but this build has big smile factor! No detonation so far since map completed. The HD flash would not work on my '06, so the tuner had to manually adjust timing across the board. Great numbers or not, I am VERY pleased. Many thanks to Rods performance for the build and tune!

I've seen too many TW6 builds hit 100/100 not to believe him. This wasn't someone slapping parts together and getting pissed off at the builder/tuner. This sounds like an honest adjustment needed to be made. Congrats on the build/results.
Really like where the torque is on your bike. Getting close to 100 at about 3000 rpm is perfect! Why the Woods cams? Do you believe they are better than the others for any specific reason? Sure hope a proven 103 upgrade for my 96 comes in good.
I trust his tuner too. Rod did the 1st dyno tune on my 2004 ZX10R racebike. Stock pull was 149 rwhp, after installing a TiForce full exhaust system w'PC3USB and Rod doing a custom map, I got an additional 14rwhp up to 163.3. The A/F was spot on and the bike ran flawlessly. I did a bit more work on it with Muzzy cams, headwork, Hi Comp headgasket and a few other small things and got it up to 173 rwhp. I have thought about having Rod tune it for VP race fuel and if I decide to race it next year I will be seeing him again. He knows what he is doing.
As an answer to all the naysayers, when I left the dyno shop Saturday, I was very happy. My comment to them was that no matter what the numbers say, this bike really has the power now. I made it very clear that I was completely satisfied before we ever looked at numbers. He was the one that was not satisfied. HE was dissapointed with my numbers. I was tickled! As far as his integrity, I would never question it. I would trust this guy with everything I have. It looks like we will have to make some additional adjustments anyway, so I will get him to run me another peak pull.
As far as the woods cams.....they just work. I have run them in 2 different bikes and they really are impressive. Bob Woods is eccentric, but in a good way. He is **** about his products, and thats what makes for quality stuff.
