Default Cant decide???

I have slipons on my 2012 iron and just bought a stage 1 air filter kit to go with them. I am also using xieds and the bike runs much better with them.
Now the question is do i fit the filter and leave as it is or fit a fuelmoto tuner??
Problem is i havent fitted the filter so dont know what it will run like and slip ons are removed at the mo so i can fit some quiet baffles.
I suppose i should wait till there all fitted and see what the bike runs like but.......... i have the money for a tuner now and you know what its like, leave it a while and the money will be spent elsewhere!!
Argh..dont know what to do

Get a tuner while you have the money,you will want it soon enough anyway.

Pipes + Filter + XIED and you'll be fine. But if you have the money to spare I suppose go for the tuner.

You'll be good with the XiED's. You *might* be better with the tuner, depends on who tunes it/how much time you want to spend on it getting it right.

I'm in the same spot. I have SE slip-ons and the SE intake with XiEDs. Bike runs fine, but I wonder how much better it could be with Power Vision. That's the $500 question!

Im thinking about a fuelmoto micro tuner with a map installed? That is my choice if I go for a tuner?
