Are you talking about the Stage 1 download for the ecm? You need to be more specific with your question because Stage 1 includes the download, pipes, air cleaner and 103 and 110 inch builds. Which one do you mean?

First it will give you much better performance. The main reason I did a stage 1 upgrade. Second it will allow the engine to run cooler. Third for me, since I did the work, it was fun!

If she does happen to run on the lean side, take a look at V&amp\\;H&nbsp\\;Fuel Pac.Seems to be the best bang for the buck&nbsp\\;in fuel management&nbsp\\;

IMO you would be better served with an Power Commander III USB.&nbsp\\; I have found it to be more user friendly plus I have a dyno tuner that won't charge me an arm and a leg to get my bike tuned.&nbsp\\;
