Default Stage ! Upgrade

I just had my bike tuned as in (sig pic). My observations from first ride:
More Pep
Cooler on right leg (except at long lights)
Great sound ( on throttle)
Backfired twice
At 80 MPH before I knew it
I will post dynos later, but this seems like a good thing.
Comments please.

It should not be backfiring at all.

Thanks for your replies. I have since had a retune.

-Idles perfect
-No back fires
-Runs cooler
-6th gear is very smooth
-Sound is good on throttle
-42.06 MPG since retune

Here are my Dyno results:

HP=76
TQ=91

I think they should be better. I'm thinking finding a new tuner tech, or possibly the CAM upgrade to the SE255. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

thats a pretty conservative HP number for a 103. Suggestions would depend on what your goals are....there are a few points of no return....for example...if you go with 255's....then that means your not in the high compression picture...if your not in the high compression picture...what are your goals....if your goals put you in the high compression realm...then you can't use 255 cams. My take is your stock flat top pistons is your current weak point.

Speakerfritz, Thanks. I like acceleration, so I was hoping for more torque. It will move pretty good, but i want a little more.
