Default ECM Calibration / Powercommander

I have a question, if I am installing the SE Heavy Breather Air Cleaner kit, and I already have a Power Commander, do I need to have the ECM calibrated or with the correct map does the Power Commander take care of the neccessary changes?

My bike is a 2006 Street Glide, I have the 95" kit with SE 203 cams, Vance and Hines true duals with Basic Slip-ons, Stock ECM.

Thanks

I would recommend getting a Good tuner such as a Power Commader and Dyno it and get the best bang for your Buck.. 200.00 Well spent..

Thanks for the advice. I already have a power commander, am I to assume because I have that there is no need for the ECM calibration?

Is a good idea to let a good Tuner Dyno it may increase your Torque and HP 10-15% what I meant 200.00 well spent...

GK, you will need the proper map for your setup. You would not need to have the HD ECM recalibration ("download") - the PowerCommander map will provide all that you need. If you bought the PC from FuelMoto, just email them and tell them your equipment roster and they will email the map to you. If you bought it from DynoJet direct, contact them for information on getting the proper map. As JayStronghawk says, a dyno tune by a certified tech will squeeze maximum power from your setup.
