Doesn't the SE tuner need a new flash?

My understanding is the SE tuner isn't nearly as as good as it used to be due to the EPA stepping in and dictating that it can only make changes that stay within their regulations. I don't think the settings needed for the 48's fall within those regulations, so getting a "good tune" with it might be problematic. Of course this is my understanding, and probably someone with more knowledge of these things good provide more insight.

What engine, exhaust, tuner? Why didn't you simply bring it back to the dealer?

agree, without more information its difficult to help.

i have 48s in my 2010 roadglide 96 with true duals and cvo slips ons

it is tuned with an fp3 and gets great fuel economy, runs strong and pulls to the red line.

with oil puking out of pushrod tubes, does not sound like its just the tune

If you are blowing o rings ya got more than tune trouble. Dealers are seldom good tune people and the SE tuners have been so restricted as to be useless. Especially with non SE stuff.
Good luck!

That shouldn't be happening. The 48's do have more CCP due to the intake close but they are pretty mild cam. Check the installation timing on the cams via the marks or a compression test. I ran them for a season before my engine build and they were an awesome cam.
