Do you have to switch back to the stock sensors after you're done tuning? I figured the wide band sensors would be like a permanent replacement (?).

I leave the Wide Band O2 sensors in. I have for the last 2 bikes. You do not have to remove them.

I tend to use the gauges on the PV with everything connected. Also easier to run an Auto Tune once in a while to see if anything is changing. I like playing with the software as well.

I did a little poking around on their site, and it looks like maybe Jamie gave me a map that was intended for touring bikes and not the Softail. I tried merging the map they gave me with my base map off the bike, and I thought that was working (and replied to Jamie that I thought I'd figured it out), but it wasn't - since the maps were not compatible.

So... I ended up going to the Dynojet site, and downloading their SE Air/Bassani slip-ons map. I have an SE Ventilator and Rush 1.75" slip-ons, so that looked like it would probably be the closest - and used that as my starting point.

next time you talk to Jamie, let him know the calibration your bike came with and go from there.
tho it does sound like you are on your way already.
You can get there without any pre loaded map... but sometimes its easier if the pre made map is closer to your needs.

Lots of fun, ask me how i know..

I compared, and it looks like he smoothed out the spikes in the VE map, so that the transitions are smoother. And then some adjustments to the Spark Advance and Air-Fuel Ratio tables.

Yep.. 6th gear used to only be useful going downhill, or at 70+. Now it's usable down to 55mph.

Put a good cam in it, if you want to make 6th REALLY useful. Actually, I've found a cam gives each gear so much longer legs that I barely even USE 6th anymore. She cruises just fine in 5th...

When I autotuned my bike, I switched back to the stock O2 sensors so I could continue to run in closed loop and have the ECM make adjustments. DynoJet just came out with Tartget Tune that allows you to use the wideband sensors connected to the ECM. Instead of collecting data with Autotune and applying changes to the make, Target Tune will utilize the WB sensors as you ride. Mine should be here today and I'll give that a try.
