Simple answer...no.
There is no product I know off that does what the consumer assumes and expects it to do AS STATED IN THE MARKETING PROPAGANDA. “Install and ride.”
For this reason I suggest to bite the bullet, find a competent tuner in your area, and get it done right the first time so you can spend your time enjoying a great running bike rather than spending time trying to get the answers to what you may not fully understand. There is nothing wrong with educating yourself but it must be clearly understood you need to invest the time, effort and $$ to learn. We learn from our mistake and that can be very costly.
As always, JMHO,
Bob

If you have an M8, and want to stay warranty compliant, the only option is the Harley Pro Street Tuner. If you don’t need the warranty, the next step is a V&H FP3, with either their download or auto tunes, next is a dyno tune from a competent tuner.
