I have a pc v on my 02 heritage and I really like it. Don't know a lot about different tuners but my mech highly recommended the power commander so that's what I went with. Also have a bassani 2 into 1 pipe and arlen ness big sucker stage 1 air cleaner, the whole set up seems to work really well together. hope that helps...

I've got the PC V on my '04. The map the mechanic loaded, sucked. It had more torque, but gas mileage plummeted. I gave it to a real PC tech out it on a dynamometer and built a custom map. Night and day, plus more torque! 85ft-lbs & 77hp. At 60mph, I get almost 50mpg. At 75, 40mpg. Beautiful torque curve. I recently posted the maps on the "Dyno Numbers for SOFTAILS" thread.

Ride safe and enjoy.

My motor and heads are far from stock. That said I just removed my SE pro tuner and put in the dynojet PV and I prefer it much better. More capabilities and the bike is much more responsive.

PowerVision. Why? Because through research I determined it probably the best tuner on the market IMO. Also because when I bought my breakout the HD service guy recommended it over a Screaming Eagle tuner. I figure a Harley guy pushing a competitors product should mean something.

MY bike is a 2012 Fatboy Lo stock what would I gain but getting a tuner I could do a lot of nice upgrades for the price of a tuner.

Power Commander III on my 03 88ci because that is what Fuel Moto said would do the best job and they were spot on. My Dyno guy at the HD dealer said he loves tuning with them.
