If you can, return it or cancel your order. Get at least a Power Commander V, or better yet some kind of downloader like a TTS Mastertune or SE tuner.
The Fuel Pak is not very good. You can't tune a bike with it. You can only select preprogrammed maps from Vance and Hines. My buddy had one, and it never ran correctly, even though he was using V&H components. After multiple calls to V&H he yanked it off and went with a SE program.

I don't like Syn3 at all in the primary. It makes the clutch grabby when hot (at least that's my experience).
I prefer either stock Harley Formula+ or Redline primary fluid. Either one works really well. Smooth engagement, which I like.
I've been running Redline in my bagger since 5k miles in all three holes, got like 24k miles now. The shock proof heavy makes the tranny shift hella smooth. It's good stuff. The oil samples I have sent off to Blackstone have all come back good, so I can honestly vouch for the Redline 20w50.

I've had my black one for over 20k miles, no problems. I bought a chrome one for my Dyna, and don't expect any issues there either.
