I installed the PCV. Lasdt time I checked the Cobra unit was not as adjustable. I am very pleased with the PCV and have added Autotune to mine. Very Happy.

I haven't even heard of the Cobra, but the PCV from Fuel Moto is a great bang-for-the-buck option, IMO, especially in combination with their revamped SE AC and the Dyno-Tuned Jackpot mufflers.

I had the Cobra FI2000 on my bike. Ran good. Then one of the wires broke. Seems to be a common problem. Then I got a real TUNE(SEPST). No problems since +bike runs better.

What is "revamped" about their AC other than using a K&N element instead of Harley's element? My understanding is that the backing plates are functionally identical.

PCV without a doubt. I would also suggest the auto tune or get custom map by having the bike tuned on a dyno.

Fuel Moto will get you on the right track with the PCV. I started with that, then graduated to the autotune when I knew I was gonna make more radical changes to the bike.

Jamie and Keith have been there every step of the way and never acted like I was being a pain in the azz (multiple map tweaks). Great price, great product, and outstanding customer service. DDo yourself a favor and get aPCV and be done with it.

Fuel Moto is the way to go. I got pcv, jackpot, se air cleaner. I am very pleased with the sound and performance of this setup.

"Revamped" wasn't a good choice of words, and although the K&N-type element is the biggest difference I seem to recall he made some other minor changes. I'll have to ask next time I talk to him.
