My Carpenter 240 build

Well, its tuned! I opted for the 8k rev limit as the power started to drop before 8k. The bike was tuned with the K&N 4040 filters in place, CES headers and 93 octane pump gas. It isn't 240 horse, but this is around what I figured it would make. It did make more with the timing advanced, but the tuner felt that was pushing it toward trouble.

Jeff,
I like that smooth ramp from 3K to 5.5K.
Now I be curious to see a comparo of that tune to what Nels could do with Tune ECU straight up?
Perhaps you should tow both Rockets out here so we could spend a few days playing and I intro you to Nels . . .
Would also save me a trip and I'd pay gas and a couple nights motel???????? :D

Nice try Steve! Tuneecu works on its own, but you'd need bigger injectors to make it work on this kit. I thought about going that route, as its about the same cost as a PCV. In the end I went the route to the easiest good tune. We did do some timing adjustments, idle adjustments with tuneecu tho.

Now I need some seat time to get used to how it behaves now.

I would love to do a comparo tho!

Well heard a lot about this. Sorry to say the tunes from up North are not worth a flying Cra(. F tables are the easy way out. Problem is you don't get a very good tune just by using tune ECU when the tuner has no clue and does not fully understand how to tune a bike the right way. Real easy to fool some hard to fool others.Spent some time here recently studying tunes by no means a expert but at this stage of the game realized the good from the bad.

Sonny, are you saying Nels, owner of Two Wheel Dyno Works does not know what he is doing and you do?
 
Congrats on your beast! A couple of things to remember: Be sure it's pointing where you want to go before getting on the throttle hard. Where the stock setup was falling off, you will be kicking in the afterburners. Head low and hang on! :cool:

Sonny, you can get a bad tune using any tuning device if the person doing the work doesn't know what they are doing or doesn't care enough to do the job properly.

I disagree or perhaps don't understand your statements about F table tuning and Tuners up north. I had and continue to have a great relationship with the shop that tunes my bike. There are probably one or two more im familiar with in this area that are top notch tuners.

Beyond the dyno sheet, its really about how well it runs, not peak numbers to me at least.
