As far as I understand running both would simply be having 2 things to do the same job. Remove one, it is unnecessary.

Umm, actually Nightrider (makers of Xieds) do suggest it as a good combination and I can kinda see it.

The fuelpak tends to cover the open loop area i.e. the high speed & acceleration bit. However, not so much the closed loop bit. This because the stock ECU is still reading the O2 sensors and will try to compensate for richness in the closed loop area introduced by the fuelpak back towards stock AFRs.

So fitting some Xieds too will richen up the closed loop bit and the fuelpak will handle the open loop.

I run both on both of my Harleys. I can tell a difference.
