sorry to post another right away, but wanted to let you know, the synthetic oils reduced heat noticebly, but the real big deal was the power commander, very noticebly cooler running. the fuel moto guys really know what us guys want.

They may have a map database to pick from or they sold your buddy all Harley parts and are just picking a calibration file that matches the parts list.

You are right. If you were to also add an oil cooler it would help the heat as well. On 80+ degree days. I run about 230 deg. Oil temp. This is with fairing lowers which reduces air to motor. My CLB's are 739 using oil cooler and Syn 3

The dealer more than likely has a large database of tuned MAPS. I have the MAP for every bike i've ever tuned in SERT ans SEST, I don't bother saving the PC MAPS i've tuned though. In other words, the dealer probably jst put a MAP in the bike that he tuned on someone elses with the same build. It's really no differn't than what FuelMoto is doing. It's a tuned MAP to a bike with the same or very similar build, but it's not a tuned MAP to your specific bike.

Money is the factor in all of this right...$300.00.for SE breather and stageI versus about $600.00... I opted for stage I because i ended up with$250.00 for everything...Got a bit more power which is what i wanted..If i got with anything else i am gonna go all out and to a 103 kit...If i had $600.00 to drop on it i would've might gone with Fuel moto...

Notgrownup. If all you did was the dealer download you are still running lean and hot you didn't increase your power at all.
