    After buying a Fuel Pak from Vance and Hines Im wondering if I made a bad decision? Having a heck of a time finding the right map. Calling them has been a disaster thus far. Have tried many maps ending in the same outcome, bike not running like it should! Ive got an 04 Road King with stage II 95 kit, true dual Bassani pipes and a hypercharger. Any help?????

    Hate to tell you this but the true duals are what is screwing with you, you have to tune each cylinder individually with true duals and your fuel pak cant do it, that is why I think you have preignition from your other post, running to lean, I had a cobra and it worked great but when I went with true duals I switched to a thundermax, they tune each cylinder individually, Todd

    Hate to say it but the last poster that was banned was a jerk. I come to site to learn good info and opinions. That guy just didn't like to get along with anyone.

    Yes, I bought a fuel pak also. Don't like it. Has anyone went by way of the download at Harley, or have you had better luck with the PowerCommander?

    Harley's are funny. Wide open pipes may sound good, but for a Harley to run right, there has to be a little restriction. My shortshots ran better after I put in the quiet baffles. Still has a good sound. They ain't that quiet. Has anyone had any dealings with True Duals? Or is the stock head pipes better?

    No question about it, they run better with the baffes in, I have true duals and I know I have probably lost some bottom end but I sure like the way it sounds, I put in lollipop baffles to help minimize the power loss but Im sure I would gain with a good 2 into 1 but being I didnt buy a Harley to go fast I am not to worried about it, Todd
