Default Dyno tuning all the same?

What makes for a good dyno tune? I'm looking at an upgraded 110 into a 117 slim S. It was upgraded at HD dealer and Dyno tuned there also. When they tune the 117 do they have a restriction or limit to how much they tune it for performance. Would i be better off having it tuned again at the reputable tuner be me?

It's not the dyno, it's the tuner. So if there is a reputable tuner near you, they might be able to get a better tune. Though, there used to be some pretty good tuners at Harley dealerships, not sure if that's changed in recent years. Never heard of any limits, dealer or not, as long as warranty isn't an issue or expired.

Where in Florida?

Does it seem to need a better tune?

There seems to be some pretty good tuners on here, hopefully they'll chime in.
