I did a complete v&h change; td, basic slip ons, fuelpak, and se air. Stage 1. Was it worth it YES. My throttle responce is much better, much more low end torque, wider power band, and best of all better mpg. Would I do it again without a question. I got a lot more than I had hoped. Oh, it starts a lot easier.
they have a install video on v&h website real helpful. i was very nervous myself turned out great have to hold on a little tighter when fast take off.
So guys, for those of you with just slip-on's, hi-flow, and stage 1 uploads,
1) was the Fuel-Pak worth the money, and
2) was the difference really noticable, and
3) did your mileage change much?
Thanks,
EGK
1) It was plenty worth the money to me. Very easy to install and set up. I switched my pipes and added a high flow without worrying about maps and a dyno tuning
2) Didn't really notice any difference in performance. Of course I installed it before break-in was up so I never really ran the chit out of it before and after to be able to tell. The biggest change I notied is it runs cooler now. Not as much burning on the thighs.
3)No change in mileage that I have noticed. maybe a few MPG better if anything.
Oh and I did not have the Stage I download. Saw no sense in it. Pretty much a waste of money from the opinions I have heard.
I had a PCIII on my '06 Road King with V&H Oval slip-ons and SE air cleaner. Had major occassional stumbling problems that began al,ost dangerous. Also didn't care for the cranking to get it started. I switched to FuelPak and like everything about it. Better mounting of the unit, easier to program and verify, runs strong and cooler, mileage in the 40's on highway. I've used recommended map from V&H and have had no decel popping.
