Default FP3 help needed

I have a 2011 Harley Davidson ultra limited (flhtk)
I installed a S&S 551 easy start cam and cobra power port headpipes today. I'm running the cobra powerflo air intake and S&S 4" grand nationals(no baffles)

Does anyone know a good map on the FP3 fuel pack to begin tuning it?

Call Vance and Hines at 562-921-5388. They'll hook you up with the right map for your setup.

Cams and a new head pipe introduce MASSIVE changes to your bike. The FP3 does an average job for simple bolt on things, but using it for a cam swap is like putting a band-aid on a broken leg. My advice would be to get some professional tuning advice in order for your bike to run correctly and optimally for the expensive parts you just bought. Good luck!

With the setup you have use the Powerduals header with the high-output slip ons. As well with the cam install. I just installed S&S 551 cams as well. The FP3 will do everything you need. There is a section in the software to add the S&S 551 cams, then flash.

Ask them about turning off your ACRs when you call. Easy starts with ACRs active can set codes & sometimes cause no start conditions.

There is a option in the FP3 called (switches) which one can turn the ACR on /off.

Why did you decide to go with the easy start if you all ready have ACR's? If you don't then that makes sense. Let us know the outcome of the issue you are having. Might be able to help someone else out. Good luck

So the issue I was having was extremely excessive popping, lag for throttle response and then when the bike was up and moving it would chug at 3000-4000 rpm, almost like it wanted more throttle.
When I started messing with the tune, it felt like nothing was working.
I started looking everything over and back tracking to find out if it was a mechanical issue. One of the push rods was completely loose.

Also, Vance and Hines FP3 customer support line dudes and dudettes are absolutely the best!

( thank you to who suggested that)

So I still have to button up a couple pieces on the bike tomorrow but I'll try to post an update.
