Default Low Speed Drivability Issues

I got my 2006 wideglide this year and still on the EFI learning curve so any help is appreciated...
The bike is a stage 3 95 inch with SE heads (manual compression releases), gear cam drive and high lift cams(don't know which cam - no info from previous owner)...and apparently had a SE race tuner but the dongle was lost by previous owner...so it's a pretty hot setup, and goes like hell when I'm hard on the throttle.

The problem I'm having is maintaining comfortable cruising speed at part throttle. It seems to surge and miss at low/mid speeds when I'm trying to keep a constant speed. Very noticeable.
Is it just the tuning or is it maybe a mechanical/electronic issue that seems familiar to anyone?
