    If you are planning on doing engine mods, you should be thinking about a fuel management system. The Power Commander is good, but there are others just as good.  Like any part with a number of good manufacturers, ask 5 mechanics which is best and get 5 different answers.

     

    The bottom line is it really depends on who tunes it.  Find a good tuner in your area, there is always one shop know for quality tuning and ask them which they prefer to work with based on the modifications you are planning on doing.  I would have all your plans layed out when you ask them, even if they are going to happen ddown the road.  That will help them better pick what will give you the best tune for the final motor configuration you have planned.

     

    Hope that helps a little.

    Go to your HD shop and get the SERT installed. No problems after that. It will tweek your ECM to perfomance standards for your bike and the add-ons.

    With the slip-ons alone you could run just fine without the FuelPak, but if you installed a highflow a/c you definitely need to add some type of fuel management. On my FLHRC, I have V&H Classic slip-ons, SE a/c, and V&H FuelPak...great setup and runs perfect.

    Thanks all for your input. I did get the VH monster ovals, the SE stage 1 high flow A/C, and the Fuel Pack.

    It runs like a rapped ape.
