There is the option of a handheld like the Predator which will allow you to take it to any of our authorized dealer to have it tuned on the dyno.
They can then load that custom tune to your Predator and you still have the ability to tweak it through the handheld.

Same will work if you have it dyno tuned now with HPt or EFIlive....as long as the file is not locked you can use a Predator to alter the file for future changes if needed.

Thanks
Mike
