Question Power Commander Vs. FuelPak
A few of my buddies have been recommending the power commander once I get around to upgrading the bike.

I understand it's a well known and much used brand.

But if the pipes and intake I get are V&H ...
is there any advantage of making it a pure play and getting their "FuelPak" instead?

The PC is a much better and more capable tuning device than the fuelpak. Period.

I totally agree with scuba. I bought the FP two weeks ago and wish I had the tune ability of D Jet PC 5. V&H is a narrow scale map, not a tuneable like the PC. I have already gone back and put $ down on Pow Comander 5. Double range tune in all gears and a couple extras over the PC3. Read all threads and still did the V&H mistake.

I think it is hit and miss with the FP. I went from X14's to the FP and noticed a good improvement. The biggest part is if you are willing to install the FP.

Yup. I've had both. The fuel pak is in the landfill
