Default throttle pak question???

Can anyone give me some feedback on v&h throttle pak? I don't need to hear about how the PCV is better or other bs. I am running stage 1, with a fuel pak, and it works fine for what I have. Does throttle pak make a difference? When I have the money, I will go with the cams,PCV, etc... 2009 RKC

The Throttlepack will cure the response lag associated with TBW bikes. It only affects throttle plate opening speed and does not affect fuel, timing or any other ECM sensors, so any fuel management programming is not affected. Unless you have the TBW lag between throttle twist and response, don't bother.

Thanks djl, yea that's what I read, but I don't have anything to compare it to. I remember reading that for some years it made a big difference. On my 09 it seems to me that it responds ok. I can't say that I have to wait for a response after twisting throttle, but I don't know any difference. I guess I probably answered my own question, just hoping that someone would chime in with their experience.

Id say save your money and purchase a unit, that can also manipulate timing.
