Default Engine tuner question?

I have a 2009 Fat Bob with Samson ripsaws. I am looking to finish my stage1 witha a se heavy breather. looking for input on which tuner, fuelpak, or downlad to consider to get the most for my money.

I have a fuelpak on my superglide and seems to work fine. The Power Commander is probably more versatile but you need a laptop to use it. Really depends on how many mods your wanting to eventually do. Gotta look far in the future so spend your money wisely now.

Screaming Eagle Race Tuner works well for me. I looked at all the others, and didn't want to remove the o2 sensors. SERT will allow for other mods.

It all depends on if you plan on doing any motor work in the future. If not the download or fuel pak will work just fine, but any planned motor work I would consider the tts, sert or pc5.

I really like my ThunderMax w/ autotune. I would personally stay away from the FuelPak and the download.

I got rid of my PC III in favor of a Thunder Max, so far I think I made the right move.

Lots of ideas and opinions here. JMO, I personally prefer the TTS as it saves your factory base map and can adjust for your gear ratio or any other changes later on.
