Default 110 to 117 Needs SE Tunner?

Hi Guys!
A friend of mine, is upgrading his 110 fat boy S, with a 117 big bore kit. He has a fuelpak 3, but the bike wont start. Has already asked to V&H and they sent the map for that upgrade, but the dealership is telling him that he has to buy a SE super tunner too, because with the FP it wont work.
Is this true? has anyone had this issue?

FP3 is not great, but shouldn't keep it from starting...SE tuner is only marginally better due to its having canned maps already for the application

IIRC. Harley tuners restrict the Air Fuel ratio from going beyond EPA standards. The ratio must be adjusted beyond EPA limits to achieve proper performance.. Tuners are extremely expensive and many will not allow the desired settings..IMO
