So could i have someone just throw it on the dyno and tune it or do i need a actual tuner to plug into the bike. Guy i bought it off said harley had tuned it on a dyno when he had the stage one kit done and he has no tuner for the bike but my buddy had a stage one kit done on his 19 streetglide at the dealer and they gave him a tuner for it

The previous owner did not get a dyno tune with the Stage I kit; he got an ECM flash which is worthless; adds a bit of fuel across the rpm range and increase the rev limit. Later models required tuning with the SEPST which the customer pays for separately from the cost of the Stage I upgrade. Dealers don't "give" tuners away.

Hardware and software are required for a proper dyno tune. Some tuners sell "licenses" for say the Power Vision so the customer does not need to buy the system; customer pays for the license, tuner tunes and provides the customer with the tune on a thumb drive. Customer will need to return to the original tuner for future modifications that require a re-tune. So that may be an option for you; if not, you will need to purchase a fuel management system. Stay away from a dealer "tune"; their track record has been less than stellar. Find a local tuner and discuss tuning options with him.

There is a lot of miss conception about the license program from Powervision, I think it's a good program especially for those of us with more than one bike. I do agree with you about sticking with one tuner they get to know you and your machines. However if you had to relocate or sold the bike the license is still usable.

we use a lot of the 583 cams for builds looking for great low end torque and they deliver when set @ 9.8-1 to 10.0-1.,that said we don't do work looking for a certain sound or idle,all our work is geared towards actual performance,
