Back from the Dyno tune
Well back from the tuner and the numbers aren't what I thought they would be (87.41 HP/98.88 Torq.)it starts to pull right around 2600 rpm and pulls steady to about 5600 it starts to flatten a little there and then goes to rev. limiter 6300 rpm but the Dyno Tech. seems to think for a stock bike other then the cams the numbers were excellent.He said that of all the newer bikes that they have done with basically the same motor work done mine had the best numbers so far.I guess the only way I'm going to break into triple digits or come close will be with new heads or have mine done.I have a guy fairly close that is really good at bench flowing heads.But that will be next winter.I installed a heavier clutch spring tonight, I could feel it start to slip a little when I really whacked it,but the heavier spring solved that issue. I'm very happy with the way the bike runs and pulls,without a doubt it's a big improvement and very noticeable.At 65 mph in 6th its running at 2250 rpm.Sounds good too nice little lope at idle and I'm pretty sure it got louder.

First thing I did wrong was to listen to every Tom, Dick and Harry about what cams are best for me.I finally picked what I thought was best for my needs.But after looking at some other tunes with similar set ups their numbers looked much better.I just can't see an almost same setup making 103 HP/109 Torq.without some kind of head work (my opinion)To answer your question NO. I'm quite happy with the 48H cams and the tune.It really pulls and steady right out to the rev. limiter

if the numbers bother you, send your heads to bean at Big Boyz. for like $300 you'll have a stronger running motor and will probably get a bit more out of it. i've never understood paying 800-1200 bucks for headwork if they dont replace valves, guides, and install higher rated springs while making sure the heads compliment the cam and CR. i have $400 in my heads (inc. comp releases) and make the same/more power than heads that were 2-3x what i paid.
anyway, have fun with your ride

Don't start chasing numbers I did and it drove me nuts and it emptied my wallet. I see a lot of people posting big numbers on the 107 but I bought all the good stuff and after a lot of cash I am at 110 hp/112tq. A lot of people say there is something wrong with that but It was all my bike would make. But it feels great and I am not chasing another 5 hp/10tq. Ride it and enjoy it.
