Default JD's Cycle Works

Spent the day at Jd's in Bethlehem PA getting my 103 2012 EG Limited dyno tuned with my TTS. All I have to say is what an amazing job!!!
I've read a lot of reviews about him knowing his stuff, but I can definitely say he is meticulous. Left 6 hours later with
79.17 HP @ 5000
97.57 TQ @ 3500
My Laptop tune runs weren't too bad at
74.87 HP
88.71 TQ
but how much better it runs was night and day.
Stock runs about
68 HP @ 5000
85 TQ @ 3600
Huge difference.

If anyone in Pa is looking, don't hesitate to go to him.
