I am wondering if there is one out there that will give me a lower idle. Not so much that I lose oil pressure but one that will make my bike just low enough to give me a nice "gurgle" at idle.
Any help would be appreciated.
Not happening.
Your remembering the sound of a carburated 88 inch or something other than a efi.

Thundermax allows you to adjust the idle.

Some fuel management devices will let you drop the rpm to lower than 1000 rpm, but in order to do that you have to run very, very rich, too rich. If you idle a late model twin cam below 950 rpms you will not have enough oil pressure to be healthy. Oil is squirted up into the underside of the crown of the piston to specifically aid cooling. Again, you will loose that if you get much below 950 rpm. Modern fuel injection will just not let you get that potato-potato-potato sound which was once so popular on the older carbed bikes. If it wasn't for the EPA, Harley would probably still be using carbs.

As stated earlier, If all you you are going to do is a stage 1, xied's and ride it like you stole it. Good luck with your decision.

I've decided to go with Cobra true duel headers and a set of V&H mufflers that I already have. I think I'm gonna go with the power commander. It seems to have more variables that I would like. And I believe I am going with the Ness Big sucker
