Default Fuel Pak Advice

My wife has an 05 fatboy with screaming eagle 2-2 exhaust. I have no idea what map she has in it. She has some serious power problems.

I talked with the people at a custom cycle shop who recommend the V&H fuel pak. The HD shop recommends a custom map and tuning on the dyno.

I like the idea of the V&H because I will have control of the map instead of having to go to the HD shop for everything.

Any advice?

Go to V&H site like Waterhog said and get the information you need. But, don't hesitate to call them either. I did when I got my Xbones and V&H had nothing listed for the Xbones F/P. The guy set me up fine and it runs like a raped ape, (that's fast). There is more than one way to skin a cat, the other white meat.
