Default Performance mod order please.

03' Heritage Softail. It came with V&H straight pipes. What performance mods and in what order should I do to get the most out of this bike? I checked the forums but either I'm doing the search wrong or am somewhat retarted. Thanks for the help. Jeff.

The PC is a good choice, unless you are addicted to making engine mods, then you would want a PowerVision or TMax for the autotune.

I would start with the A/C and tuner and see if you need more from there. A set of cams would be next but things get carried away quickly from there.

Power commander is fine. That is what I run with my 95" build with cams.
