Do I need another ECU?

I have a 2002 Heritage Springer. Mods I have put on are screamin' eagle heads, 1550 big bore kit, crane cams htc310, 45mm polished mikuni carb, crane ignition coil, vance and hines pro pipe HS, and K@N Filter. My question is do I need to replace the ECU for something else to meet my bikes needs now? Thanks

you are not the first person to tell me that, I don't know what my obsession about getting all I can out of this engine. Maybe mental..

Did you put all of that stuff on yourself or did you have it done at a shop? Do you know if they (or you, whatever the case may be) did anything to the ECM? Is the bike running smooth? I'm not a mechanic, but I think a little more info might help stir up some answers for you.

RE: Do I need another ECU?

The work was done at the local harley shop. I paid them to put the big bore kit and the carb on, so I highly doubt they did anything to the ecu. I am getting a little hesitation if I get on the throttle quick and when I am going 70 mph or so, when I turn the throttle I can feel the bike start to buck. I live in a small town and it just seemed that the local HD mechanics just didn't know how to adjustmy Mukini carbwell. Maybe my timing is just off.

The ECU is fine since it's carburated.The hesitation is a matter of getting the carb dialed in correctly.Find someone reputable and get it re -jetted.
