Auto tuners
I have a 2008 softail deluxe with 1200 miles just put some Samson tru duals fish tails with short baffles. Also put on a Peromance machine air cleaner. The question is should or do I need to put a auto tuner on.? If so what one is recommended for this set up if any out could help, it would be helpful. THANKS.

Yes you need some kind of tuner on it at this point. Auto tuners get a lot of good reviews from what I have read, but are costly. But then again once you get something like a sert and pay to have it dyno tuned, you have almost spent just as much as a auto tuner. Then if you change anything or add more performance parts you need to dyno again with a sert. So a auto tuner would be the way to go if you can afford it.

Not to give you a hard time, but if you have owned the bike since it was new you don't need an autotuner. For > 300 miles a year all you need is a dealer download...
It will save you lots of money and you won't notice the difference...

If you do decide to go with an auto-tuner, contact Fuel moto USA. They are a sponsor on this forum and you can scroll down this page and click their link on the right under "Sponsors". They can help you out with questions you may have to get the right setup for your ride.

Go and try the Fuelpak, it might work just fine. I put one on my bike when I did the mufflers and intake. After a year or so of trying to get my bike to run right, even with pretty good tech support from V&H, I installed the TMax. Now it runs perfect. BTW, I got the TMax from a sponsor here for under $700. That was a few years ago, so look around.
