Default Cam upgrade Dyno question

If I upgrade cams, rods and lifters, on my 2014 softail slim (103 and already have stage one) do I need to Dyno tune it, or would something like a dynojet powervision tuner be sufficient?

Either would be sufficient.

Not sure - between SE 254E, 255, or S&S MR103 - I'm looking for more torque and HP. But nothing crazy...yet

Thinking if I can get into the mid. 90s on hp and just above for torque I would be happy for a whole.

Thinking cams, rods and Maybe lifters....

Any advise would be appreciated.

I ride solo and shift around 3,500 or so typically.

As I mentioned before ill probably go with the mr103, but it will be probably at least 3-4 months away at best. I will be getting it tuned by a pro after the install and saving the tune to the pv2 since I have one. Keep us posted....

Set the compression @ 10.0 and install an S&S .570.
