Power Commander 5 and Dyno Tune

[PowerDubs_imp]

Hi- thanks for posting.

Just a comment on the- "different numbers based on what kind of dyno you're using, ambient temp and humidity, and the tuner's setup."

As long as the shop doesn't screw up anything, Dynojets are extremely comparable.

The SAE written in the upper corner is the correction factor you have the chart adjusted to which takes into account the temp, humidity, etc. You can change that in the drop down menu to uncorrected for the real power you made that day, or other such as STD, or DIN, EEC.

As a real world example, I live in NJ, and a friend lives in Cali. We both owned the exact same car, with the exact same extensive modifications. You could load both of our dyno run files into the software, and when the correction was applied they would overlay and look like it was the same car, same place.

I also had a custom tune done on my car by a shop that said they could beat the tune I already had- so I dynoed at a shop the night before, then drove to CT and he tuned and dynoed there....and I drove back to NJ and re-dynoed so I had independent before and after numbers. Overlay was perfect. I love Dynojet and if I ever win the lottery I am buying my own to play with.

Like Ben, and anyone else who dynos on a Dynojet- I highly advise you call the shop and ask them to email you the run files. Quick and easy to do- lets you look at them as you change things around, or compare directly *corrected* with other peoples runs. I always just bring a usb thumb drive with me when I dyno, but email is easy because the file size is tiny- KB.

What did the shop do to your bike to tune it? I only see a mention of the power commander, so guessing they adjusted the fuel table and ignition curves were left alone?

I haven't looked at what Dynojet targets on a '17 file- but interesting to see you were pretty much 12 across the board.

Gaining 4whp from fine tuning is no joke. And a reason I advise to do the auto-tube box over a canned tune alone.

I bet those pipes sound glorious. On that note- I wonder how reading the tail sniffer on 1 cyl affects compared to a standard pipe with it smelling all 4 cyls.

Easiest thing you can do to pick up more power cheap is the TSR airbox inlet clone on Ebay.
