Default Rocker Stage 1 question

So i got some VnH 2-1 BR pipes but wont be able to even touch them till i come back home . But anyways, to the question.

Would a stage 1 HD Flash be beneficial to me?

Tried searching but net at work is slow, took me ten mins to just load this...

Everything else is stock, minus the pipes. I'm trying to work on a budget, military pay.


Any input would be appriciated

If you plan on upgrading the breather...then you will need some ECM calibration. Various breather kits avail. V&H has some, Roland Sands Designs, Screamin Eagle etc...

I would spend some of that deployment cash on the Thundermax...and if it was either ECM or Breather...I would go for the Thundermax system first. I wouldnt even waste the money on fuelpak's , power commanders etc...

My understanding is if you are only changing the exhaust and not the intake also, you really don't need to do anything else. I personally would not go with any fuel adjusters ie. thundermax, SERT,etc.until the intake was opened up.
