Default sputtering

I have a 07 street glide with 103 big bore kit with S&S cams and head work done. It's sputters and idles a little rough on take off.I had it retuned at my dealer because it was spark knocking and now it runs like this I'm using a SE tuner. Is this a lean issue or too rich??? Thanks
