I also think that the cam change is just a peak into the rabbit hole.

You would probably need to call Vance & Hines to see what they can tell you about that. With the amount of overlap this cam has I know it was a bit of a tricky tune even with the TTS.

If they have the maps and have tuned them then I think you would be OK. I don't know much about the FP3, but I know a lot of riders on this forum are fans, so they must have something going for them. I would go ahead and if you ride it and don't think it is optimum, then decide if you need a different tuner.

Personally, I think you will some on the table with the FP3, go to J&B Performance Facebook page and see where guys have come in with a FP3, they thought it was supposed to be better than sliced bread until they rode there bikes. Hopefully this will steer you in the right direction away from the FP3 and you'll use a Power Vision or a TTS tuner. There cheaper for a reason and in some things you truly get what you pay for !!!!

So here’s a simple question to everybody following this great thread.
I’ve had a 2011 Road King, then 2015 Street Glide Special where both bikes I cammed and tuned.
Now I have a stock 2019 Stage 1 Road Glide and the smoothness is thru the roof. None of my previous bikes had manners like this bike down low in first, second or third gears, (however they were very smooth like my M8 in the higher gears).
Now after my warranty tanks, I’m thing Zippers, or TTS 150 cams for it.
In all honesty, after buggering with the stock Stage 1 map that I presently have, is my M8 going to take a surging step backwards with these cams and run like my old Twinkies did? All the motor combinations and cams that I ran did have comprehensive dyno tunes done to them.
Should I leave well enough alone if I want to keep my smoothness? Does an M8 run even smoother with a dyno and cams?
