fuel pack or power commander
i have an 06 street glide with hooker slip ons, stage 1, and power commander, i'm swapping to a 2-1 lsr exhaust, screaming eagle heavy breather, now, the question, should i stick with the power commander or use the vance and hines fuel pack? i already have the fuel pack from another application. i've heard of the power commander just shutting down and if the fuel pack ever quits i can just plug the stock 1 back in and keep riding. i'm getting re-tuned after it is all installed.which is the best way to go? thanks

I just installed V&H Bigshots(black) and Fuelpak. I love it. Only been riding it for a week but I tell you what, I installed according to directions and programmed from V&H site, not one problem! Sounds freaking great, no backfire or anything! Best set-up I've had out of three bikes! Had the USB Power Commander III on my 02' Softail, didn't care for it much but I do like the Fuel Pak. Don't know if this helps but for what it's worth.....

I am PCIII guy. I get all my bikes dyno tuned and Ihave neverhad any problems. Also if your PCIII goes out (I have never had one do that) you can unplug it and just run off the ECM.

In past posts, they say pc3 is dyno tuneable, but the fuelpak is not. I will go the way oif the fuelpak soon. I plan no engine mods or dyno tuning so for me it will be the simplest choice. headers, exhaust, a/c and fuelpak for me

I have the LSR on my 08 with a PCIII. I wouldnt even consider a fuelpak as there is no "tuneability" compared to the PC. Your gonna run an LSR get it dynoed and tuned correctly and you wont be disapointed.
I have the capability to try numerous pipe applications and the LSR was the top numbers maker......D&D was a close second......

Fuelpak is a great way to go.&\\;nbsp\\; Easy to install and completely idiot proof.&\\;nbsp\\; Their customer service is great and always helpful.&\\;nbsp\\; If there are any problems you use pull it off and re-connect the factory plugs.&\\;nbsp\\; I like the fact it doesn&rsquo;t change the computer and you can take it off.

<\\;P>\\;Seems PC 111 are nothing but problems for many users <\\;/P>\\;
<\\;P>\\;The TFI seems to be the easyest and most reliable<\\;/P>\\;

2 years and 15,000+ miles with a PCIII and never a problem. Love the way it makes the bike run.
