Fuelpak vs FP3
I have the origional fuel pak with a stage 1 intake and VH Big shots on my 08 fxdl. The bike runs great. Would I see any differance in upgrading to the newer FP3 unit?
I've been wondering the same thing for my 2011 SB.
The FP3 seems to get good reviews (including from Fuelpak-FP3 change-ups) at Revzilla, at least in terms of the phone-based interface and 'semi-canned'/'sorta-auto-tuning' functions it should be significantly better than the Fuelpak.
Just make sure you get the correct one (they only recently started making them for 2007-11 Dynas, but have been making them for the 2011- 17 models for a while, so the latter are more common...)

FP3 is listed as being married to the bike after install.
Don't think about swapping to other bikes or returning the FP3.
Stated in the catalog is the warning of no returns.
Buy it and you better like it.

Ahh ok. The bike runs beautiful. Ive heard horror stories with the big shots and backfires but I took the advise of my local HD dealership and ran 2 SE gaskets in each bore. I've put about 100 miles on the setup now and had 1 or 2 backfires when cold on a 1st to 2nd shift only. No backfires when off the throttle. It just revs down smoothly. I think I'll save my dough. I just didn't know if I would get any smoother running motor on top of the awesome performance now.

I bought the fp3 and the V&H 3" slash cut slipons.
Yep it backfired like it had a tank full of bean burritos on deceleration,
but I went into the FP3 and adjusted the "decel pop" setting and it got rid of
about 98% of the popping, very satisfied.
The "Throttle Progressivity" tweek gives another little grin factor.
This reduces the factory set lag in throttle response for the throttle by wire.
I am currently at 3/4 setting and after work today going to 1:1 "race mode".
I've been messing with the FP3 settings in minor steps and for a geek that just can't leave **** alone, this thing is like a KatNip ball for a Kat.
Yes it is locked to your VIN, Original Map is backed up before you burn a new one to it.
I've read somewhere....on here someone....claimed that you can pay V&H for an additional license so you can use it on another bike. I haven't checked into that yet but intend to.
I also read that one of the other brands of mapping gadgets lets you use it on other bikes BUT, you first have to revert the current bike back to the factory map, effectively releasing the license from that bike. Multiple bikes, but only one at a time.
If you could buy one unit that was unlimited, they wouldn't make much money on it.
