My initial thought, auto needs the pro. Whats it gonna do do, tweak the POS SE pro tuner?
Saw a graph what each brought to the table, auto opened it up with it's remap.

I just dont know, it's all BS if I ended up with a dyno but could put the auto in and got more.
WTF knows,I'm tired of warranty. knew it going into it. HD is clueless to the M*, it's a guessing game with them since '17

I have questioned them and everyone I can about this. I hear there is no adjusting the cold start up MAP.
Thinking maybe their Pro auto tune for another 400 but I'd be ticked off if that couldnt get it.
You can ajust the cold start up map here's mine on the PV.
You can set any rpm to anything you want.

Thats what I've been thinking, they slap a map in there but dont adjust any paramters if the dyno is acceptable.
Thank you
Big diff between HD's limited MAP and aftermarket. Thats where you get short changed.
Let the warranty run out and mod it.

SoCaRider. This is what's in mine. No 1700 RPM. Wonder why it does that? Thanks for your help. SR

Did running rich cause any high idle?
