Theres really not much to say about it. I guess its not as noticeable as a tuner on my diesel. The bike idles better but thats about all I noticed. Im I missing something here? Should I be noticing more?

Depends on what you are using it in conjunction with. Is it a miracle piece of electronics that is going to give the same feel and performance as, say, new cams and shaved heads? No. Will it make each item you put on the bike, to enhance performance, operate at it's peak? yes. That said, you should notice a bit better throttle response, the idle and roll-on performance, regardless of what else you have done.

It's "fixing" the fueling assuming you have the right map and giving you a small power improvement.

It's not overfueling and cranking timing like in a diesel. Two totally different animals. I sure miss my Dodge Diesels, a 555rwhp '03 and a 400-ish rwhp '07... Spent far too many days working on 'em and going to dyno days lol...

I have a 06 powerstroke mid 460s, 555 would be nice. I wish my bike was like that.

I am having some very loud almost sounds like metal rattling, during start up and seems to go away after the bike warms up.My issues started after installing the PCV. My friends bike, doesnt do it and he is running the FuelPak. Has anyone experienced this with their PCV? My bike really sounds like **** during start up.

I cant help but think compensator???? ONLY because of all the threads and talk about it. Might be worth your while to look in that direction. I DO not know but does not make sense to me that a tuner is doing it.
