Hey All

After doing much reading i am looking for others opinions on the best Fuel Managment that would fit my needs. I have a 2007 FXSTC, with V&H Big shot staggered and a HD Heavy breather. I probably wont do any other engine mods other than possibly a Cam. I ride fairly aggressive most of the time and Take several trips a year were we avarage 75-80 mph. i have been leaning toward a PCIII, but recently did quite bit of reading on XIED's and recently discoved the Techlusion Fuel Injection Control Module. I am looking for everyones opinion on witch would suit me best. My dealer tech said that the DEaler stage 1 download was a waste of money. So i am open to suggestions.

TFI cost effective simple no extras required or needed fits most street riders needs well good company. Not as many options for adjusting as some of the others.
You just need to decide how much tweaking you want to do and at what cost.

We have two excellent tuners on this forum that I wish would jump in more. One is "Doc 1" and the other is "eddfive". These guys forgot more than most people know about tuning.

Like others have said before me, the TFI from Dobeck will work real good. I find it to be the most cost effective when it comes to adding fuel when it is needed. Unless you are going to be flat tracking your tour bike, it will work in the vast majority of cases. An added bonus is the fact that if you are a military veteran they will give you a "huge" serviceman's discount. Huge in this case is way more than the customary 10-25% discount. When you get your invoice you will also get a hand written note telling how they appreciate what our veterans have done for us. They are for real.

I have an 07 FXSTC with the PCIII installed. I did the installation myself and have one word of caution. May sure you have a laptop connected to the bike after you fired it up for the first time with the PCIII installed. It's very possible that you will have to adjust the throttle position with the installation software. Not a big deal, takes about 5 seconds to adjust but has a big impact on your bikes performance. I had just installed a new set of Bub 2 into 2 pipes, which I love, and smoked both header pipes because of the incorrect throttle position setting. Power Commander mentions the throttle position in their instructions but did not emphazie this setting. The hardest part of the installation was getting everything squeezed in under the seat. I'm sure you will have the same issue with whatever system you go with.

The good news to all of this is that the bike flat runs!

I appreciate everyones response, I have read what glider put in the self help which is nice, but i wanted to here personal experiences like pocket rocket posted, becuase i will be doing the install my self, so things l;ike that are great to know.
I am leaning towards the PCIII at this time, i am not a vetran so the price difference between it and the TFI are not that great.
