I posted my dyno results in the past somewhere on here. Was fairly happy with it being new to me and all. The more I rode I started to realize that maybe I made a bad choice in the Stage IV kit. It just didn't have the low end that I wanted. I spend a lot of time on the bike with my wife siting behind me so I dont want above 3K at all times to be a must. Torque just wasn't there until 3.5K and didn't feel "good" until about 4K.
Then the sound of the D&D with the perforated baffle began to wear on me. Took the bike and a louvered baffle to the dealer. Got told some cockamamie story on how they were losing so much HP and TQ. I told them to put the perforated baffle back in and I would come pick it up.
Fast forward to now. I have since moved form SC to IL. Found a nice little shop not even 10 minutes from where I live now. Hear good things about it. Decide to give it a try. Take the louvered baffle and bike in and tell him what I want done. Not expecting a lot because of the results I saw from working with the dealer. Hoped I would pick up a little low end with the baffle change. Got the call yesterday and what Jason told me got my heart racing but, I didn't want to get too excited. Went in today to pick the bike up. Jason shows me the dyno sheet and I just grinned. FINALLY this thing is where I thought it should be from the start. Not only does the torque feel a ton better, it actually feels and runs smoother by a long shot.
Not bashing dealer tuners. I know there are some GREAT ones out there, they are just hard to find and are at times required to do this or that; or not allowed to do some things because of working where they work. For my money, I will stick with local shops that can and will take the time to do things right.
Atttached are the sheets. Dealer tuned and C&S Tuned.

No lie, the difference to me in the seat is night and day.
