Default TTS or FP3?

Got a good deal on a V&H stainless 2 into 1 for my 15 SGS. Also adding a RSD air cleaner. My local tuner said to go with a TTS mastertune but then he will have to tune it. $$$$

I'm thinking FP3 and I can tune myself. I'm not planning on cams or any motor work at this time.

Just wanting some input from forum members.

If your just going to do a stage 1 I would recommend the FP3. The FP3 is starting to support cam upgrades now so possibly adding a cam later shouldn't eliminate the FP3 from consideration. You can down load maps built on a dyno from Vance & Hines and then use auto tune to fine tune it for your bike. I know you said you have V&H exhaust, But is someone reading this doesn't V&H will recommend a map for one of there exhaust that is close to what you have then you can auto tune it. Will it be as good a map as an actual dyno tune? Probably not but that depends a lot on who does the tune. The FP3 is available online for $300 and free shipping. That's only around $50-$75 more than the HD stage 1 download with labor and tax. Plus it saves the cost of a dyno tune. It can be used to dyno tune if the tuner has an iPad or other tablet to tune it with. But if you want to dyno tune then I would recommend the PV2. You can download the FP3 app from the Apple or Google app sites to your smartphone or tablet and play around with it in demo mode to see what it can do and how easy it is to use.

The TTS is better but if you are gonna stay with just a/c and exhaust then you could get by with less especially if you are doing it yourself. If you are gonna have a pro do it or do more upgrades later, go tts. I can say after spending some time with my tuner and learning more, the TTS is outstanding. Probably why your local tuner recommends it, he knows the difference. BTW, I've had the SEPST(in a drawer), PV2(sold) and now TTS. Oh and if that exhaust is the high out put stainless 2-1, it's waaaaaaaaay too big.

I've already purchased the FP3. My goal is to get the Twin Slash Rounds and the Dresser Duals. Might as well complete the package with the FP3.

You can Vtune with TTS all by yourself: FREE!

A third option is PV2.

All 3 will do anything you want to do.

And any tuner worth his salt can use any of them. Some specialize in one or the other, but there is truly little difference between them.
And each of them have an auto tune feature of some sort.

Stay away from the over-priced, under-featured SE products.
