Dyno Tuning in Yorkshire

I'm looking to have my engine dyno'd and set up before the start of the new season. It's a GSXR 1100WP in an OMS PR.
Friends and competitors have suggested a couple of companies to use:

Daytuner in Harrogate and Dynobike in Malton.

I've heard good and bad stories about Damion at Daytuner (Harrogate) but only good so far about Dynobike.

I wondered if anyone else would care to share their experiences/ recomendations for engine tuners in the north of England and the foregoing in particular

Being a Yorkshireman means I'm obviously after VFM however the most critical thing has to be increase in power achieved.


Thanks

Richard

I swapped to DynoBike mainly to get better service although I live in Harrogate. Very happy I made that choice, but as you say others appear happy with DayTuner.

Hi,

I have Dyno'd an OMS for a bloke from Yorkshire called Steve ! and a Raptor for a wee lad from Scotland the day before he went sub 25 at SW.

Regards,
Hamish.

Daytuner

Damian at Daytuner has done a lot of work on my car (Hayabusa Caterham 7), engine and gearbox rebuilds, numerous runs on the dyno and I've always been happy with his work. Suggest you give him a try, definitely a thumbs up from me.

Judging by the Engine/ car and the avatar I would guess this post is from the son of a regular fellow competitor of mine in Harewood 1100 Racing car class. If I'm correct then that makes two of you who use Daytuner am I right, Rob?

Good feedback on locost re Daytuner, and also JDM in Carlisle.


Another one is Mark Fisher - Who left TTS and setup on his own,

http://www.ghracing.co.uk/ He came well recomended from Myd Harries who ran a BEC Darrian rally car. Mark did all the mapping.

However he is not Yorkshire - Northampton.
