Default M8 Dyno w/ Tab Performance Exhaust (Zombie Baffles)

So next week I am having a stage I SE A/C and a stage II SE torque cam installed on my 2017 Ultra as well as a power vision tune and dyno. My ride currently has Tab Performance B.A.M. sticks slip-ons w/ zombie baffles installed. My question is has anyone else had this setup on a dyno and, if so, how did it perform? I'll post my numbers when I get them, just wanting to get an idea of what to expect from the "investment".

For a stage1 M8 the StreetTuner will provide a good running bike without trashing the warranty.
Voiding the warranty to tune a hot-rodded engine with an open exhaust is understandable but not for a pipe and a/c. There simply isn’t anything to gain that justifies voiding warranty IMO.

I just had my 18 RKS tuned with a similar setup. Mine was stock A/C (damn Ventilator was backordered), 447 Torque Cam, Tab B.A.M. Stick w/ Zombie Baffles, TTS Tuner. I'll post my results this evening.

IMO it didn’t help below 3000, where I wanted the improvement. Peak torque (@3600rpm) did improve, as well as upper rpm hp.
If I had to do over again, I’d wait for my warranty to expire then put in one of the great aftermarket cams available. Much more bang for the buck. More torque (and hp) everywhere over the Harley torque cam.

JCU, did your expeirence provide a noticeable difference other than a thinning wallet?

Mine is going in either next week or the week after for Fullsac Header, Fullsac OEM recore kit for mufflers, SE AC, SE447 cam, SE Tuner and Auto tuning module. Can't wait for it to be done!

Sorry guys, I've been digging around to find my dyno sheet, but wasn't able to locate it. The bike runs fantastic, so I'm plenty pleased with the Stage II.

JCU, no worries, I appreciate looking. I guess my question now is do you feel a significant difference?
