Might as well warn you that the majority of folks here are going to recommend the PowerCommander over the FuelPak.
My personal experience with both units gives the PC a huge edge over the fuelPak simply because you can adjust it on a laptop with ease. The fuelPak has a series a "codes" that are sort of "scrambled" and only understood by the technician at V&H. I needed to make some adjustments on my FuelPak (when I had it), and became very frustrated with the tech support.
OTOH, the PC was very easy.

My .02 cents.

Have DFO will sell you. I put it on my bike for a few weeks and then took it off. No problems with the unit just wanted to try the pc III. I gave the DFO to a friend to put on e-bay but I do not think he has put it on yet if you are intrested let me know and I will see if he has listed it or not.

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.

You will eventually buy the PCIII anyway - why waste $$ on the fuel pak. Just my 2 cents.

It is a 1040st EFI and shows that it is only good for up to 2005. They do not show anything for 06 and 07 models on the DFO web sight so not sure if it will work or not. and yes it is a stealth. Maybe someone knows if it will work or not.

I just purchased a PC111 along with aircleaner and new pipes. I'm going to do the install myself and will let you know how it goes.

I have the PCIII, and love it. No problems. A buddy of mine did the V&H when he had a 95 ci kit put on. He's been fighting with it for about 4 months now. Holler at Jamie at fuelmotousa.com
