I think someone just posted about this the other day. Anyways, welcome to the Harley family! I put V&H short shots on mine and a Kuryakyn mach 2 at the same time. Never bothered to flash the ECM or buy a tuner and the bike runs just fine. Has for 6000+ miles. Adding a tuner or flashing the ECM MAY make it run better, but for the most part you wont notice. And I would say if you have a 2013 Fuel pak it would work just fine if your engine were a 96ci. I think in 2014 they moved to the 103ci though if im not mistaken. Putting a tune for a 96ci engine on a 103ci engine might not be the best idea. But if I couldn't find a map for a 103, I'd run nothing at all as opposed to paying the money if the bike seemed to run alright and wasn't running too rich/lean. Have you tried calling the folks at Fuel Pak? Technical Support for Fuel Pak: (562) 921-0071. Might ask them or see if they can send you the appropriate map for your bike/engine.

Contact V&H at fuelpakfi.com
Give them the info and get them to send you a new map. You could put the map from 2013 into it if it is the same setup, but I would recommend confirming it with V&H.

The Fuelpak should be the same model to fit 2013 and 2014.
AFAIK: not much system wise has changed between 2013 and 2014.

I have 2013 Fat Bob with Vance and Hines Big Shots Staggered and Screaming Eagle Air Filter with Power Commander V. I never did the ECM and Dyno that the recommended. The bike run great except there is a lot decal popping. I learned how make an adjust on mapping to eliminate the decal pop. It did take about 4 or 5 times of playing with the map. Now not only the bike runs great, I have no decal pop whatsoever.

Good luck!

so you never did a tune or dyno or anything and it runs fine? whats the worst that would happen if i put the intake on and didnt tune it? major problems? just run rough?

Man you can buy a Power Vision for a lot cheaper and have the capability to tune for any future mods. Or you can make the dealer very happy!

Why wouldn't anyone get a proper dyno tune after doing performance upgrades is beyond me. Always leaves me scratching my head....

because they don't realize just how good it can really be, or they are just satisfied with "pretty good"
