Tuner VS Cam
Where do you live?
The Andrews 48 is a solid cam choice....I run it in my 14 fat bob 103 and it impresses everyone that rides it.... rideability is greatly improved...as for your intake....I like the heavy breather...

I also use the Power Vision tuner. Like GalvTexGuy noted, purchase it from Fuel Moto. They will upload a tune for you based on the current mods to your bike. Jamie and the guys can answer any questions you may have.
While I absolutely agree with your premise.... a good dyno tune is not always possible/available in all areas....
The problem is that GOOD dyno tuners are not everywhere, and in some areas are very few and far between....... A bad dyno tuner can be worse than useless... others are just not that good...
I recently used a dyno shop with glowing recommendations from people I trusted... he was a couple hours drive away...
I had changed cams, got a canned map from FuelMoto AND DynoJet. They didn't have a tune for the same combination, but had one similar. It was for the same engine, same cam, totally different exhaust. They both admitted it would need some work. I did several auto tunes with my PowerVision and their auto tune pro (with wideband sensors). I got the bike to run real well..... but it back fired (not decel popping) on decel when I would back off the throttle from an easy cruise...
I took it to this "awesome" dyno tuner... He seemed knowledgable... I got it back after $450 spent and it ram good (like before) but still backfired... I compared his tune with my final Auto Tune Pro.... His map only changed the AFR... no change in timing, or anything else I could find.....
I contacted him, he reluctantly sent me a tune via email to try to alleviate the problem, he wanted me to bring the bike in... Flashed emailed tune, no change... so now I'll have to travel another 4 hours to have him "check it out" and not know if he can/will fix the reason I brought it to him... If he wants me to leave it like before, that will be two trips to his shop with my bike on a trailer..
So, my point is, the four bikes I've modified, flashed a good canned map from FuelMoto or DynoJet, and the tune ran really good in my bike (I always do a few auto tunes to dial in the VE tables).... I was way ahead in terms of time, money, and had a better running bike than my dyno tune experience....!!
Believe me, if I knew of/found a good dyno tuner near me.... I'd give him a bunch of business.....

looking to get a little more pep out of my 09 ultra. Right now it only has some bassani slip-ons, I was wondering would I be better off going with a tuner like a power vision or going with a cam, like a Andrews 48H or something of that nature. If I done the tuner I would get a A/C also. Just wanted some opinions on this.
cheers and ride safe!!
