A real dyno session — not made artificially

Every Precision Basemap in this catalog was created on Matt Smith’s dyno. It is not generated, simulated, or assembled in software. The file you download is the calibration from that session, for the exact combination of parts on the motorcycle the day it was created — the real deal, nothing turned down or watered down for sale.

Quality checks and uniform matching

A file is not offered for sale until it has passed several quality checks in the Basemaps.net system. The catalog operating system then applies the same matching rules to every published file so the same VIN, tuner, and parts combination is evaluated the same way.

Not a free stage-1 library

Free stage-1 maps are basic, generalized files meant for stock or near-stock setups. Those libraries lack specialized cam-swap and big-bore combinations. This is a file only. It requires a tuner in order to use it. A Power Vision, MadLad Solutions interface, ThunderMax, HP Tuners, or any digital license is not included or sold by Basemaps.net. The tuning file you are buying saves time, and was developed from a real dyno tune, using exactly the parts listed on the basemap you chose.

Not a waitlist file

Some shops email a different calibration after a waitlist, a hardware purchase, or a buy-in fee. That is not this product. A Basemaps.net file is Matt Smith’s Precision Basemap for the confirmed motorcycle, tuner, and parts combination — delivered immediately. You do not wait days for a technician to email you back.

Why this costs more than a basic map buy-in

You are buying a Precision Basemap, instantly, anywhere in the world. The storefront is available in 29 languages. Free libraries usually cover only basic exhaust and intake changes. The catalog includes highly specific profiles for complex cam swaps and big-bore setups that would otherwise require an expensive one-off or towing the bike to a shop.

If you have a concern — or want to give praise

After you buy and download, open your account. Each purchase has Leave Feedback. Use it to rate the Precision Basemap, note a concern, or say what went well. That form is for quality review. It is not phone support and does not open a ticket.

If Find My Tune has no file yet

When the catalog has no match for your bike and parts, you can join the Precision Basemap Waitlist on that empty-results screen. Leave your email and the combination you searched. We email a purchase link when that file is published. That is not a custom map emailed instead of a catalog file, and it is not offered for platforms we do not sell (Sportster and V-Rod).
