The thig is, the tuner an tune will be financed into the loan for the bike....and 15% off. This is why I want to make sure I get the right combo for a good running engine. A guy that used to work at a local Harley dealer told me tonight that he had good luck with the thunder max. Seems like the more I read, the further away from a decision I get.

Get the SEPST and have map 614SEB001 installed. That is the one that fits your bike. It is already set up for Stage 1 and the cams you are using. You won't need it dyno'ed unless you just want to.

My personal reason for having the dyno run was not to get the extra 1 or 2 HP. It was for the piece of mind that the tune was performing as expected.

Your financing your bike? Not a good Idea. $20K at 6% for example is about 3K a year to borrow that money. On top of that your financing your tuner? Are you really wanting to waste that kind of money and then get on here and ask if you need a tuner cause you don't want to waste money on one if you dont need it??

While I am on the subject....6% isnt that great for someone that is giving financial advice. When I bought my 2005 wide glide with a stage 2 95 inch kit installed at time of delivery and financed into my loan, I was given a 4.25% interest rate with not a penny down and I was a mere 21 years old at the time. I know what good credit is and hot to achieve it, but sometimes in life there are things that happen to screw all that up in an instant when a barrel of a shotgun blows up due to being plugged from a trip and fall.
Thanks again!
