    Retune after blower rebuild?

    I have a ported Eaton that sounds like it needs a rebuild. After rebuilding it, will there be a reason to retune it, or can I just reinstall the blower and run it? (possibly thinking of having Stiegemeier rebuild it)

    Tune sharing?

    I noticed many of us install the same mods... Wonder why nobody has posts mods and said: "Hey, if you have the same, use this tune I copied". Yes, it sounds crazy, but is it really?
