EFI can be a PITA for some of us.

There are a lot of options in that arena that do NOT require dyno runs AND are much less expensive than anything they have at the HD Dealerships.

FuelMoto is def one option to look into, as are the XiED's.

well... I found pipes I can live with for a while... I think I'll chop the stock headers us and do some mock-ups to see what I like... if I get the back presser close in the pipes I weld, then it should work for me right? what about a K&N? going to need to take it in for that? and how adjustable is the stock CDI, cause the salesman said I would need a new one if I did anything. while I can wrench on the old stuff... anything with a computer is beyond me. thanks guys
