In another thread I expressed my SE 103 Stage IV Kit disappointment. I'll go with the dyno tune advice, but mapping out my back-up plan now. If I like the results once correctly tuned I'll be happy as a pig in poop, but if not I'll leave the bike for some upgrades. Here is what I have so far:
10.5:1 pistons
SE CNC ported heads
259E cams
58mm TB
SE (58mm TB compatible) intake
4" Rinehart's
Going to have the above configuration tuned using a TTS tuner and tuned by Bob at RC Cycles in Hayward, CA.
Should the tune on fall short of my satisfaction the head pipes will have to go. I am thinking V&H Power Duals and maybe the 888 or 999 Wood cams tuned.

Input, experience appreciated.
With Bob Lobenburg tuning that the tune won't fall short, it would be something else holding it back.

The SE Street Legal Stage IV Kit didn't come with injectors. Injectors would void the warranty. Between CA emission crap and HD themselves a guy's options are slim.

Do you have tuner now?
No, no tuner, just the HD SIV download that came with the SIV engine kit.

Dump that download...A good fuel tuner (thundermax, TTS, power commander, etc.) will make a world difference and us all the potential of your hard earned money spent on that motor.
Never heard great things about those downloads and especially on built motors.
