If your bike is all electronic controlled then you should keep your bike in closed loop, tuned in closed loop and monitored with O2 displays in closed loop. For a street bike I would not waste time with a dyno tune, unless you like seeing numbers. Find an independent tuner, a guy who knows his stuff and doesn't worry about numbers but more about performance. There is a hell of a lot to getting your engine to perform correctly then just throwing a few parts on it. Do a lot of research and read a lot of what is found on the RB Racing website, those guys know there chit...

There's a saying: "There's no replacement for displacement" and there's a very good reason for it.
That said, any significant power increases will be had by using a combination of improvements where the result is actually greater than the sum of the parts. To get the most from your engine, and to do so reliably at a reasonable cost the formula will be: Displacement + Compression Ratio + Camshafts + Exhaust + Breathing.

Talk to some people that have run it. 85 hp and 95 ft lbs torque ( as much as a 110" Stage I nowadays,) with just a big bore, Andrews 26 and 2 into 1 exhaust (or almost 25% more than a stock 88".) And that's with stock heads.
Biggest bang for the buck easily.

I did it and I'm very glad I did. Outside of a good cam, it gave me the biggest improvement in performance. Better than the jump I got from pipes and intake that's for sure. The jump from 88 to 95 was well worth it and I'd do it again in a heart beat. Of course I did the big bore. I have no idea how a big boar would do but I hear they run wild! I also think a dyno tune is well worth it to. Those that think some guy with a good ear can tune a bike as well as a guy with a dyno are misinformed.

Now that's funny!
