RE: Vance & Hines fuel pack?
I have one on my 07 , I bought it because the power commander was not out yet for the new bikes. The bike runs a lot better than stock , but I am going to add a p.c. over the winter in the next few weeks. I would recommend going to the Vance and Hines web site to see if there is a update for your settings , they come out with updates from time to time.

I have seen the Vance & Hines one first. Then somebody told me about the power commander site. Any thoughts on which one might be better or if there are any differences?
Thanks

I can't tell you from experience, but I have heard very little good about the VH fuel pack as compared to the PCIII and SERT. I have the PCIII and like it. I like the fact that the dyno tuner and myself have no problems modifying the maps in the software. The SERT, is almost as user friendly, and from what I understand, has a greater range of adjustment than the PCIII. The only downside (that I know of) with the SERT is that it takes about twice as long to do a custom map with it as compared to a PCIII.
My suggestion....use whatever your local dyno tuner recommends. Sooner or later, he's gonna be adjusting it for ya'.....
nogood o~`o

I have the Vance and Hines, but if I were to do it again I think I would go with the Power Commander. From what I have read here and other places the Power Commander gives you more flexibilty to tweak settings. With the Vand H you can use the settings they have or e-mail them and they will give you a program based on the info you provided. It is easy to change, but you never really know exactly what you are changing.
In any case I do feel my bike runs better than when stock.

A Fuel Pak would be my last choice for a FI tuning aid. It is the least user friendly unit out there.

RE: Vance & Hines fuel pack?
It is a big secret to what the settings mean on the fuel pak , I spoke with customer service several times and they won't tell what they mean , so you are at there mercy for the settings . It can not be tuned by the dyno . I would be interesting to see what the air / fuel ratio is by putting it on a dyno , but as we all know that's expensive , so I am just going go get a p.c. and a dyno tune and be done with it .

RE: Vance & Hines fuel pack?
I've been running the FuelPak for about four months and am very pleased with it. It's true that the SERT and PCIII have the ability to be fine-tuned by a skilled tuner and dyno, but for simple Stage 1 mods, the FuelPak does a great job. However, V&H does not release the details of their maps, so you are limited to the maps that they publish. Most of what they publish is for V&H pipes and mufflers, and I think if you are going with one of theirs the FuelPak would be a good choice. I'm not particularly interested in trying a lot of different combinations of pipes and intakes, so I think this simple approach works well for someone like me.
The combination that I have - V&H Oval Slip-Ons, SE Stage 1 Intake, and FuelPak - has really improved the throttle response and apparent HP and Torque. The bike runs better than it did in stock configuration, and I am very pleased with my setup.

RE: Vance & Hines fuel pack?
I just finished installing all my crap tonight.
Better part of the whole day
Dresser duals
Ovals
Fuel pack
I only had time for about 2 miles on my test ride
All seems fine so far
Bike sounds good but I hope the pipes tone down a little at idle as they seat in
I got a couple of studders starting out but no biggie just a small pop the bike might have just been a little cold still
Starting to wander a bit about the injectors I know they are having trouble with some stock ones
