actually I'm amazed that there are NOT calibrations out for 255's in 96's. I'm even more amazed that hd doesn't have one out.
the few dyne charts I've seen of a 96 with a 255 look real good for guys with heavy bikes.
i keep doing mañana to any changes since i use zero oil and have zero blow by.. when the bike was brand new it filled the filter with oil, hd took it apart and redid the cylinders and rings and its perfect. don't want to mess it up.
most power choices require 500 for tuner, 500 for tune - plus whatever parts - labor i can do, I've rebuilt quite a few hd engines in the carb days, keep clean, follow the instructions, measure 5 times cut once. it helps that i have a full machine shop for personal entertainment.
so when its all said and done - the tune is way more than the parts. and the tune is the ONLY part i have to pay cash out of pocket for - all the rest can be traded, swapped, ebay'd, [sell part x on ebay use paypal$ to buy part y on ebay] or just make in the shop. [well make in the shop entails mostly making fixtures - it takes 5 mins to mill something, might take 20 hours to make the fixture to hold it]
oh well.
