Default tuner SEPRT, powervision ,thunder max

Hello all have a question or two I have a 2011 ultra classic bought it new 25k on the clock. was running SE 255 cams SE stage 1 breather/intake V&H true duels tuned with a SEPRT bike ran great. This winter I installed a Fuel Moto 107 big bore woods 555 cams and back to the tuner bike runs good. My Tq and HP seem a little low for the 107 upgrade 86hp/ 108 tq I checked compression 185psi dead nuts each cylinder. I bought a powervision had FM give me a tune will run the auto tune. have not done it yet. So I was plotting on jackpot headers and target tune to the tune for:icon about 700 more bucks was wondering if its worth the time and money. could get a thundermax for about the same cash. any advice out there?

I does not run as good as the dyno tune but I did not try to auto tune either seemed a little rich and lumpy not a steady idle ect.

You do realize that if you have a problem with your FM tune all you need to do is contact them and they will work with you to fix it.

I don't have any FM gear and I know this, why doesn't the OP?

True duals are not the best for power or torque, a 2 into 1 or a system with a balance pipe or merged collector is much better. If you already had the SEPRT tuner, why did yoiu spend more money on buying another tuner, just should of had bike dynoed with that tuner.

First I'd say that no Harley has a "steady" idle.

What exhaust are you running? If you have true duals, it will tend to "hunt" a bit at idle. Completely normal.

Lumpy... not steady idle. Didn't you say you had a cam installed? And you wonder why? You answered your own question. Now. If it was lumpy at 2600 R's, you would have a good concern.

107 with cams producing 86hp/108 tq is definitely anemic. The tuner dyno'd the 107 with the race tuner? Sounds like it's the man not the tool. My 96" does 95hp and 105 tq, the moudule is only the gateway to the ECM.

Yes still on V&H true duels I spoke with FM about the dyno results and they thought it was weak also said I might have a tooth off on the cams and to do compression test I did and it looked good. so my thinking is get PV with TT and auto tune the map. Which mean I need new header to accept the larger 02 sensors .Right now the bike smells like it is very rich smells like raw fuel cold or hot but it runs good if I target tune I can mod and not have to go to the dyno every time at $450 per run it gets pricy. And I do not want to get in a pissing match with the dealer over this tune.
