I was planning on using the SE tuner as to not void warranty… but I figured it could be tuned for the exhaust I pick. Is it not possible to create a map with the SE tuner?

It rides the same as it did stock just sounds better until I do the cam and tune. No popping on accel or decel but to be fair I’m taking it easy until I hit 500 mi.

That just seems to be over $1000 that doesn't really need to be done unless you are drag racing. And none of that stuff makes power.
cam plate and oil pump because I don’t trust stock because I am not gentle on engines. Once I throw a cam in and get it tuned and the rev limiter increased i don’t want a catastrophic engine failure because oil isn’t getting where it needs to go. Tappet cuffs because stock ones are plastic and that’s less than $100. It seems like $1,000 is a small price to pay for increased durability.

The SE tuner will be fine if you just use slipon mufflers that aren't too wide open. You mentioned a 2into1. No way can the SE tuner compensate for that. There is almost no adjustment with the SE tuner. I once had a bike with slip on mufflers Dyno tuned. I changed to a 2into1 and had it retuned. Had to add a surprising amount of fuel in parts of the map. You can add a 2into1 with the SE tuner and your bike will still go down the road. But could be extremely lean in places. I wouldn't do it.

Please someone correct me but for 2022 it would be like 1:1 replacement.

The HD cam plate is one piece aluminum s&s is also but just machined better and has brass inserts where the cam rides on. Over time things wear out and its less expensive to replace the brass then the whole stock cam chest. Also the s&s oil pump just flat out works better. If u can afford the extra money while you're doing a cam upgrade might as well replace the lesser parts with the better performing parts. Harley tappet cuff are plastic and just junk, for 50$ installing the s&s ones are a no brainer.

Look into Bassani Road Rage, Trask Assault 2 into 1, Fuel moto riot 2 into 1. All three offer great numbers on a dyno with little weak spots or dips that a dyno tune cant fix.
