Default tunnel ? ?

Traded in my fat bob for a 14 street glide ..I got rc components true duels and rc's 4 inch slip on's screaming eagle high flow air filter. Talked to the tech at the dealer and he said all I needed as far as turning is there 155.00 down load for a stage one ..? I have been told I need some sort of fuel management system like pcv . He took me back and fired up an ultra with the same set up and it sounded awsome he said it runs great . My ? Is do I need a tuner or will it be fine with there download I don't want to spend 155 bucks plus end up buying a tuner to boot

you can do one or the other, I wouldn;t suggest both

there are other tuning alternatives such as nightrider.com xieds.

but if your dealer is taking care of you, maybe go with that.

a more comprehensive tuner would make more sense if you anticipate further changes down the road such as cams, heads etc etc.

the dealer download for $155 is a one time hit to your pocketbook. If you invest that $$$ in a tuner, you'll be able to download as many different map changes as you want, as often as you want, whenever you want.

The question is, is it a proven download?

Dealer download is EPA restricted, a waste of money as far as I'm concerned.

Exactly. For roughly the same amount of money as the goofy download, you could get the Fuel Moto Microtuner, it takes PC-V maps which Fuel Moto will supply for as long as you own it.

Thanks for the info I'm leaning more toward the power vision and save put my 155. 00 towards it.. I was really concerned with the heat rang and fuel economy as well as all out smooth throttle
