Default tuning/remapping help...

I need everyones opinions please...

I have the hooker pipes coming in, along with an arlen ness stage 1 breather...i'm obviously gonna have to retune it...what do you all recommend for the re-tune? Should I go with the stage 1 download, power commander, fuel pak, or the race tuner?

I had the race tuner on my nightster but i didnt like it much...i took it in a couple of times to get re-mapped because it felt rough at times...for the money i paid...i figured it would work well....maybe its the bike?

Anyhow, i'm looking into doing this sometime next week...all help appreciated!!!

well i was looking at the company called Fuel Moto...and they have the PC3 with a free download that is plug and play...i would really love the TTS but its a little bit pricey for me right now...i dont plan on doing any serious modifications to the bike at the moment....just pipes and air cleaner....and of course a tune of some sort so it can function properly....is the PC3 that bad that it is not worth getting? I know a hell alot about tuning on cars but i get wild with those...the xbones is my cruiser...its just seriously lacking a pair of nuts!

Check out the Power Commander V, Its about the same price as the PCIII but its a smaller unit and has more features then the PCIII and at a later time you can also add the auto tune feature. I've got one on my 09 Fatboy and its great.
