I guess I should clarify that part. It seems exactly the same as before I took it in. It was running fine before but I don't notice any improvement over the non tuned bike.

My RK has a very similar build (except no decatted header. It dynod right at 80 hp and 96 ft lbs of torque, about what I expected given what I had read. Unfortunately I did not have a base map done before hand but based on what I've read its a fairly significant gain.
I based my ideas of gains on this web site.

So I just got my 14 SGS back from the dealer after a dynotune this morning. Bike has SE Stg 1 AC, SE Street Cannons and decatted stock header and HDSEPT. Numbers were 79.0 hp & 91.1 tq SAE Corrected on a SuperFlow WinDyn V2.6.
I wasn't expecting miracles or anything like the numbers on my 02 Deuce which has had a **** load of work done but I was expecting to see something a little better than these numbers. A lot of write ups I've seen on reviews of the bike show 75hp & 90tq stock. Guess it's time for a stg 4 build lol.

I would let someone take a look, the dealer I bought my limited from is great but if I want one tuned I go to my indie. Some people want even change the timing or throttle response because they don't know how too. I'd take it to another tuner.

Most HD dealers aren't known for good dyno tuning. The're more of get a basic tune and get you out the door. I just read my latest edition of HOG magazine. Each month they've been doing something to a 14 Limited. This month they did a Stage 4 and dyno tuned it. I was shocked. It was less than almost any stage one with a good tune and the price ( msrp ) they listed was over 5 G's if I remember right.

Are you sure you're not looking at the baseline run, (what you started with)? What did you start with for power otherwise? Here's how mine went below. The baseline was done with a map that ke5rbd sent me. The final is what the tuner finished with. I was previously using a stage 1 download which was even less than the map provided by ke5rbd, but not shown. Having the cat removed did cause some slight tuning issues I think, as the tuner was not able to give the rear cylinder the timing he wanted to. I haven't had time to sit and compare the maps myself though. If picture looks crooked, click on it & Photobucket should open it correctly.

Most dealer & Indy dynos run off the rear wheel to measure torque & horse power, and
where the moco runs their dyno off the engine. Some times the differences are small
from stock and a stage 1 dyno runs. Two dyno side by side can put different numbers,
the important thing is how your Bike runs.
