Smile Question about Tuners for Rocker C ... UPDATE 25 MAR

I was wondering what other peeps here are using for their tuner. I have an '08 and while I am here in Iraq I am doing the planning stage now. I will be installing a HB and Shockwave exhaust I know for a fact. Other things I am still researching about because This is my first Harley and my first bike that I have decided to make really any changes as far as upgrade to the motor. Any assistance and/or opinions are welcomed.

UPDATE ... OK I have been reserching and from what I can tell the PCV is a 2 part deal. To get the AUTO TUNE, it is an add on module to the PCV? For any of the tuners what, if any, complications are involed with the DG seat? Thanks again.

First. thank you for your service and sacrifice it is much appreciated. Second, I think the TTS Master Tune System is the way to go, it gives you more flexibility and does not require installment as it hooks up to the stock system and makes the necessary changes that you input. It can be operated with one of Dell's new Inspiron Mini's making it even more flexible.

Agree with dbswan.... I researched and researched and then the TTS Mastertune was my choice. No worries about fitment or anything. If you read up on it, it may seem complicated, but it isn't. Probably the best money I have spent on the bike yet.

I went with the TTS as well.. I didn't want to worry about mounting a piggy back type system and I liked the idea of being able to tune it myself..

I used the SERT. The reason I used it is because I use Star Racing(NHRA Harley Drag Team) for all my engine work and dynoing and it's what they use. I figure if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me.

Pro Race Tuner for me. Use one that burns into the stock ECU, much easier than piggy-back system. I have not made any changes since dealer set-up. However, I would like to add a little more fuel at idle.

Greetings,

I'm running the HD download in mine with Vance and Hines ShortShot Staggereds and Screaming Eagle intake. No issues at all. Now if I was going to do in-depth engine mods, then the Screaming Eagle Race Tuner would be the way I'd be going.

I use the Power Commander 5. A little difficult to install but you get free maps from Fuel Moto so if you change your bike they send you an updated map.

Doesn't the new power commander V have a new "autotune" feature like the Thundermax?

I am useing the SERT on mine and i havent had any problems. The main reason i didnt go with a power comander was i had read that there isnt really anywhere good to mount them cause you really dont have the room under the seat but since then i have seen some that they have mounted somehow above the rear shocks i am sure somone else here has seen it and could probablly get ya a link.
Also thanks for defending our great country and all your sacrafices my heart is out to all serving our country
