Cool What Tuner is best ??

I have a 2017 Ultra that I'm trying to tune. It has Stage 1 air and stock headers with cobra mufflers.
I installed a Vance & Hines Fuel Pak that seems to make very little difference after several miles.
Is there a Tuner on the Market that will make a difference in the performance?

The 2 most popular on here are power vision or tts...buy the power vision from fuel moto and you'll get a pre loaded map to match your bike and all the help you need to get it dialed in.

If you are using the V&H FP3? Then you probably get to a point of a (stall) when it asked you to put in the kind of headers you have... (STOCK)= not stage 1.

Stage 1
1.New High flow air intake
2.New headers preferably with no catalytic converter in it. <<<Missing
3.New Slip ons.

You have 2 out of the 3 things needed.

The fuel pak alone is probably enough to void your warranty. Much less the AF and pipes. And if that's not enough, removing the cat will void it.
Just something to consider.

So are you saying that when I put the headers on it will make a bigger difference?
Since day 1 it has learned cells during the ride and I map the learned cells to the bike after each ride. It appears to make no difference. I have heard that this is a bargain fuel pak that is not well rated. I would just like to know if I'm wasting my time and need to purchase a more superior product?

I have already been told by Harley that the after market headers and fuel pak will not void the warranty unless it can be proved that this caused damage. IF it voids the warranty a lot of people will be upset, everyone that purchases a new bike changes the headers and air. Harley even sell the Vance and Hines Headers and will install them.

That's why I said at least call and talk to Fuel Moto, case closed!

I've already got fuel moto pulled up and the Power Vision is on sale for $399, which is exactly what the Vance & Hines Fuel Pak cost.
Are there any evidence that the Power Vision is a better product?

I have both the FP3 and the power vision. I use the FP3 currently. I think the PV is not supported because the manufacturer is more interested in the dyno tuners than the average guy wanting a simple tuner that works. PV has very few downloadable maps you can use to get in the ball park. Conversely the PV3 has a ton of maps you can download and if that don't work for you V&H will build you one that will work. I own both because I didn't do my homework when I bought the PV.
