No Einge power when accelerating or going up hills

I have a 2008 Ultra with 103 kit 259E cams, high compression pistons, SE stage 1 breather kit, power commander III USB, Rine Heart true Dules. Had the work done back in Oct of 2010, with no issues and great power. This past weekend I was heading south through Alabama on the Interstate and when I got to a hill or tried to acccellerate the bike had no power and was very sluggish and learchy feeling. Thought it may have been plugs so I got new ones and no change. Fuel mileage was horriable as well. Also when you stop and start again the bike is sluggish at first you really have to get the RPM's up and then She will go. Before I had this issue I could roll on the throttle and I had no issues going up a hill and increasing as much speed as I could stand now when I hit a hill ( we are talking south Alabama hill ) the bike will drop 10+ MPH. Any Suggestions out there.

Well I had heard of it However, I have had no issues at all with mine and I have had it sence June of 08. Never had any issues until about two days ago. Not to say it is not that but just not sure what to think. Bike is at the shop now because of a noise in the primary as well as this issue. Just tring to get an more info so when they come back with I could not find anything, I can wave the BS flag.

I do not think so, it has been progressiveley getting worse. Not sure I will rule that out but that is the first thing that I thought of so I drained the tank and put 103 octane in the last 2 fillups and still no change.

I had been told that but after I took it to the Local Harley Shop, That is where it is at because of a grinding noise in the primary when the engine is off and just moving it back and forward. Once I get that chhecked out and get it back I wanted to make sure I have not droped my software load in the PC and then if that is good I was going to disconnect the PC and go from there. Thanks for the info.
