Default Cam question
Upgrading my cam chest to 2012 specs. My question is, if I change the cams, do I need a fuel management system? I currently have stage 1 completed and an ECM Flash will that be fine? Thanks for your help.

Yes. You are going to need to address the fuel management issue.

Thanks for the help, damn now I have to spend more money on this upgrade. I was kinda hoping I could get by without it. Going with the SandS cam plate and oil pump, roller chains on inner and outer, new style tensioners, SandS quickee pushrods, and Andrews 21N conversion cam. I imagine a power commander or SERT is the way to go for this upgrade.

Talk to your tuner if you are going to have it tuned. I would go with the power vision over the commander.

Power Vision would be my choice. SERT doesn't support non HD parts so tuning would be difficult, and Harley doesn't provide support.

Call Fuel Moto and they'll set you up with a PV and tune for your set-up.
