Default 2012 Superglide Screamin Eagle ECM download

(Im on my phone, bare with me) I have a 2012 Superglide, have been reading HD Forums, trying to learn if I needed to remap or whatever, if I changed my pipes only. Most have said not. I bought my bike new, had Rush 1.75 pipes/baffles put on at the get-go. My bike ran okay, but never good. Surged somewhat, I had them check the throttle, said throttle was okay. Bike felt anemic in 6th. Great for down hills only. Alot of popping on decel too, and had a strange vibration and feel at 65 and 70 in 5th. Engine just felt..... It also didnt have a steady pull throughout acceleration. But did get terrific fuel economy. 47 to 52 mpg, which worried me. My 03 rigid mount Sporty was as smooth and as powerful and overall, felt better than my new SG. My SG is guttless in 6th. The Rush pipes didnt sound as good as I hoped either, though the same size baffle as my Sporty. I wasnt very happy. I went on a 5K mile trip, found that the bike ran exceptional above 5000 feet altitude. Plenty of power in 6th and smooth. When I got home, I had the Screamin Eagle Downoad to the ECM. 200 bucks. Didnt expect anything, but was really pleasantly surprised. In short, everything is better. No more surge, less popping, even pull throughout acceleration, 6th is just fine now, no more strange vibration at 65/70/5th gear, even a little better sound. Dont know about mpg yet, hoping for 40/45 mpg. Im not saying it is the cure-all but my bike runs good now and I am happy. Real happy. Hope this helps someone.
