Some people say negative things about the V&H FuelPak, but I'm not sure how many of them have actually used one. I've had one on my wife's 1200 Sporty and was very happy with it. Very easy to install and tune. Seat of the pants feel says that bike ran as strong as her new 1200 with a SERT (both with SE air cleaner and V&H Short Shots). Downside is not as many preset maps available as some other systems.
That being said, I have a PowerCommander V on the way to use with a D&D Fat Cat on my FLD. LOL. And of course you can't go wrong with a SERT, although they are more expensive and more than likely you wouldn't be able to do any of the tuning yourself. Have heard good things about fuelmoto (see previous post) sending you a PC-V preprogrammed for your setup.
Lots of contention about what system is "best" andwhich one can wring out the last ft lb of torque, but truth is most all of them will do you a good job, especially if all you are doing (like most folks) is exhaust and intake upgrades along with it.
The best SEPRT,SERT,TTS: probably better than a grand to buy and get set-up on a Dyno. Great if the Tuner knows his job and gives you an honest effort, but seen a fair number of bikes with shitty tunes after spending big bucks on Dyno tuning running these- finding a good tuner is key. Thundermax with auto tune is supposed to be good- ain't cheap either. Depends on what you're long range plan is- more than a Stage 1 better spring for something that can grow with yer mods. Me, happy with a good Stage 1 on my bike ( 75+ ponies and around 90 ft pounds at the rear wheel on a Street Bob, you'd have to go to a good Stage II at least, if not a Stage III on a Touring bike to get the same yeehaw factor). So I'm running a Dobeck GEN 3 fueler on my bike- runs great, real hard to tell the difference between it and my buddies Super Glide running a SERT with a Stage I set-up. Except the Dobeck was about $800 less to buy and set-up than the SERT
I have the SE Pro Super Tuner & a good dyno tune. $459 for tuner, $348 for dyno tune.
Great set-up & couldn't be happier! SEPST can be used to tune as many bikes as you choose and is not married to the bike. Also will allow you to do future mods using same software.
I hear good things about he TTS Mastertune also, which is same in principal but more user friendly from what I hear, but if you have a good dyno guy who knows what he's doing user friendliness won't matter.
Avoid piggyback devices like the V&H fuelpack & the PC.
