If I was to tune the engine to run properly on RON 98 I would get it dyno tuned, but that is just me.
I'm getting an AFR gauge kit(still waiting for it to arrive), so hopefully that's as closest as I can get to a dyno tune.
Once I'm 100% happy with at least one of the ancient Nikki carbies on mine, I'll pay a visit to a local dyno.

I think, If I have a way to introduce some kind of drag on to the stationary running engine/wheels, it can be tuned "well" at home.
