Default Is SERT or PC III Overkill?

I just had the Stage One Download, SE A/C and SE one piece slash down mufflers installed. The bike seems to run fine. I know the limitations of the "one size fits all" stage one remap, but for this setup, it would seem a more precise tune would be overkill with the SERT or PC III. I have attached the dyno run for this setup.I do not plan to do any other performance mods.
Should I just save my money for now or go for the more precise tune?

Looks like an excellent dyno run to me - I would be happy with that considering your mods to the bike.

I just had a dyno tune on my 07 Ultra - Black of course - K&N ac, rush slip ons and a pciii - same hp as yours about 4 lbs more tq - my af runs a little closer to 13 to 1 across the board - but yours look good to me. Hows it feel?Smooth?yes?lol

It runs fine for the 50 miles I have ridden it since the install--seems to breathe easier with that free flow filter. Will be doing a longer trip Spring Break to the Texas Hill country and will have a better gauge of it then.

The most important thing to consider is whether or not you are happy. If you are satisfied with the performance, then leave it and spend your money on "sparkly" chrome or the tons of other things to add to your ride!

Did you get them from Feulmoto and have Jamie download the map for you.

Any chance of sharing that map Uniondog1? I also did the same but i think the dyno tech was tuning my ultra like it was a crotch rocket. Lots of pinging, on quick throttle twists and and higher RPMs. Heck im running 4th gear to 60 mph and then 5th to 75 mph..and any throttle increase i get some really bad pinging. Have to back out of it to get it to stop. Ive got a call into the shop that did the tuning but it seems i am getting the silent treatment...might have to show up in person...
thanks,
mike

Id say you are where you would be with SERT or PCIII, and its not a "one size fits all", its a map worked out on harleys dyno by some of the most experianced techs they have using your exact parts on a bike exactly like yours. You can spend more but it will be money wasted. For your setup and the fact you plan on no other mods, the download is as good as SERT or PCIII with much less cost.
