Re: Fuel Pack's

There are lots of things called fuel packs. Harley do the Screaming Eagle Race Tuner, which is a great tool (costs more than you indicate, though) but very few dyno operators in the UK have experience with how set them up properly and although they have stock settings for various Harley combinations, these are still very lean to comply with EPA regulations and therefore won;t give you the best bang for your buck in terms of performance or cooler. more comfortable running in hot weather.

The Vance and Hynes Fuel Pack is the worst of the bunch, offering lean stock settings, less potential for fine tuning and V&H won;t tell everyone what all the numbers are for, making them more difficult to dial in.

Kitech do a little unit made in the States by Dobeck, which is quite adjustable, pretty easy to dial in and there are several indies with experience in how to set them up. They're also easy to set up right by he seat of your pants, with a little experimentation. They're also more compact than the Fuel Pack.

The Power Commander is more expensive than the Kitech but offers much more adjustability, offers decent stock setting for most bikes and good back-up. There also many UK tuners who use the equipment made by the same company (Dynojet) for dyno tuning and this can work semi-automatically with the Power Commander, giving you good chances of success for a custom tune. This makes the Power Commander the best choice or those who want a reliable UK solution for the best possible tune.
