Wide open runs and quick launches suck it back down to around ~41mpg but things are really fine.

Thanks all!
All said is true...The only advantage would be not have a piggyback tuner connected to you ECM. The PV will flash your ECM and you can put it away.

Well not the only advantage lol. There's the handlebar mount and display that allows you to connect real time data and make adjustments and the ability to store 6 maps to name a cpl.

Stay with what you have. It works, its simple and its paid for. If you didn't have auto tune it would be different.

I talked to a guy at a HD dealer who installs and tunes PCV and he said for the small amount of HP & Torque one would pick up that it's not worth going to the Power Vision.

The Autotune doesn't do anything with the PV until you accept the values and re-flash your ECM. It simply collects data. With the PC V it continually monitors and adjusts fuel for optimum performance. Once you update the Autotune maps a few times and adjust the correction % to 5%, you're good to go. At least until you change something like exhaust, cams, etc.
