Default Opinions on these 2 tuners

Just starting to gather info on a tuner since it appears that I'm going to need one. Added Rush slip on's (1.75 baffles) to my stock 2010 FXDC and now I'm getting decel popping (with and without XIED's). I've decided on an AC, and now I'm getting info on tuners. I'm considering the V&H Fuelpack or the Dobeck tuner. No plans to build the motor later on, but I like the adjustability of these two. Pro's and con's on either are welcome.

Thanks

Call Fuel Moto, as I believe they sell both of these tuners, as well as others like the PCV, Power Vision, EMS, T'Max, etc. They'll answer your questions honestly even if it steers you away from a sale.

I ran a Dobeck for years and it's a fine addition for the person that just wants to "fatten" their bike up. It is a simple and reliable device that sits on top of the Harley MAP and adds fuel where you want it for more power and a little temperature control too. I went to the Power Vision as I started do more to the bike and needs exceeded the capability of the TFI.

Based on your limited requirements, the TFI sounds right up your alley...

FYI - Here's some old background on Mark Dobeck from Hot Rod magazine.

Here is current information on Dobeck/Techlusion:

Well, switched the stock canned ham AC with a Big Sucker and added a Dobeck TFI. Pretty easy install, and a little tweaking of the recommended settings put me on the money. Bike runs great. No decel popping, lower temps, and just all around better performance. Added the Harley smooth AC cover for a old style look. Real happy with how it all worked out.

I always had decel pop with my Fuelpak. Went to Fuelmoto PCV's, added a little fuel to column 0 from 1750rpms up (from 0 to 15), no pop & they run great. Can't help you on the Dobeck.

late reply but, I have used the Dobeck on my Raider and now my 2012 FLTRX and it works great and very simple to install. Better throttle response, no popping and it makes them run cooler.
