Default S E Race Tuner ?

I would like to know if I am leaving a lot of hp and torque unused . I have an 07 FLSTC , I had the SE 103" kit put in my bike along with the 255 cams it has big shot longs with quiet baffles and an SE race tuner . The my dealer does not have a dyno ,so they set the race tuner at the pre-set setting for that build , my ? is would it pay me to have the bike tuned on a dyno and can the tuners do any more with the Race tuner?

Any motor work should be polished off with a good tune. I am just using a map on my PCV for now because I am planning on doing cams soon then I will definitely have it properly tuned.

Is there any way to get a good tune without using a dyno? I have watched bikes being dyno and it makes me cringe every time, just seems like they really beat on the bike, do they really have to wind them so tight if all your after is low and mid range torque?
