New to the 110 Twin Cam and trying to figure out if the bike already has stage 1 from factory. I see it already has the air breather, what about the tune? I would like to get rid of the CAT to help with heat, do I need to re-tune? Also, what cams come in the 110? Are they the same ones most people upgrade the 103 to for stage 2?
The best tune would be a custom tune by a competent tuning shop. Those are typically independent shops (like
Docs in Florida, or CNS in Belleview Ill. Jason is very good)
The dealers are generally "just ok". A canned map is going to be better than nothing at all, sometimes they're pretty close if it's a common combo. Close is not good enough for me.
A good tuning shop will spend a full day or more on a tune to make it right. It amazes me how many guys spend a bunch
of money on high-dollar parts and then skimp on the tune.
The tune is the most important part! Even if it's just cams and pipes, the tune is the icing on the cake, and no Two bikes
are going to be identical (tune wise) even if they are the same exact bikes. (That's just how it is)
You can get in the ballpark with a canned map but to get it dead on the money, you'll need a custom dyno tune.
The result is well worth it! Your bike will run better, engine will last longer and most of all, you'll be so happy with
how it starts and runs.
Bite the bullet and get it tuned by someone with a good reputation. C&S (Jason) is very good too. I don't know what
part of the country you're in. But there's lots of good tuning guys out there.
