One or the other is ok, both mods together your TC will run lean and hot, not good. At least install a pair of XIED's or the basic tuner from www.fuelmotousa.com, What are TAB slip ons?

I've always believed if you have no de-acceleration pop and no acceleration sputter you are ok!

My buddy runs that exact setup... On a vrod muscle. He removed the baffles and did a harley download and dyno. that Vrod is the loudest bike around and still pops. He also has issues when cold starting, he's gotta crack the throttle for about 2 mins to get it warmed up

Welcome to the forums Will,
What years is your Bike?
Why would you buy a SEST and a Powercommander?
one will do the job. IMHO I would check with fuelmoto for a powervision which is not a piggy back device and is user friendly and flashes the factory ecm and can always revert back to the stock map that is installed if needed
