Cam Upgrade

Next weekend I plan to install some 255 cams in my 2011 Limited & am hoping for some help on a few questions. Currently running the PC-V, SE A\C, & V&H Hi-Output Slip-Ons. I had the bike dyno-tuned at that time. Dyno shows 76hp & 90 tq.
When I install the cams I'm also going to gut the CAT to let it breath better. I know I'll need to load a different map for the cam change & the exhaust or realistically have the bike re-tuned on a dyno or add a PC auto tune. I would like to wait a little bit as I haven't been working due to my shoulder surgery so right now funds are a little tight since I'm living on L&I.
I've emailed Jamie about prices for the auto tune & a map which won't be a problem but I need something prior to that purchase. Any suggestions? I guess if all else fails, I can just wait on the cam install & CAT delete until I have the funds available to get r done!

Thanks,
Clay

run a canned map off Dynojet website or talk to Jamie at FM and maybe he can send you a map to run. You shouldnt have a problem finding a map thats close enough. Many people run with canned maps and dont have a problem.

If I were in your situation I would do the cam/exhaust mod and add AT at the same time, starting with a PCV map from FM. Buy the pipe and AT from them and they'll get you started with a close map for the setup before it starts auto-tuning. I wouldn't bother with a dyno-tune, as AT will tune AFR's for you on the fly. Every map I've seen for a Stage II (103/255) has ignition advance unchanged from stock, so I don't think that's an issue.

You should be able to get a fairly generic map for that set up from Dynojet...It will work until you can get it tweeked. I just took a quick look and found several that sound right up your alley.

818-067 *Advanced Map*, Vance & Hines Big Shot duals (#17925), Screamin Eagle 103" flat top pistons, Screamin Eagle 255 cams, Screamin Eagle air filter, Stock ECM , Rev Xtend enabled, Table 1 is front cylinder

Just looked at the map that was loaded prior to my tune & it's for an 09. I guess I'll just wait until after riding season & swap the cams, do the exhaust, install the auto tune & load the map provided by Jamie.
The riding season in the Pacific NW is short enough & I've already missed out on a bunch of riding due to my shoulder so I guess I'll wait & just ride!
Thanks for the help guys.
