Default First Stage 2 ride this morning

Picked up my bike last night after having se255 cams installed during my 5k service. Bike is a 2013 FLSTN with V&H slip ons, S&S air teardrop air cleaner, and harley super tuner. Bike was flashed with a tune from a bike with a similar setup for now. Planning to do Samson duals this winter so I'm going to hold off on a dyno tune until the spring. Only rode it to my house a few miles away so the only thing I really noticed was the difference in sound. Got to ride it a bit further on the way to work this morning with a mix of both highway and back roads. First impression is WOW, what a big difference. The second you crack the throttle the bike just starts pulling and does not stop. Butt dyno tells me I made a much bigger power increase going from stage 1 to stage 2 than from stock to stage 1. Stage one definitely made the bike run smoother and not feel as choked, but didn't do a ton for power felt in the seat of the pants. Stage 2 though is very, very noticeable. Looking forward to the last few months of the riding season before the white stuff comes back again.
