I have not used a FP3, But have run a Thundermax for 4 years and love it (I wanted the Autotune function and the ability to support a turbo)
Regardless of what you buy, make sure you get the Autotune option where the unit uses wideband O2 sensors and then self tunes to a target AF setting. Save a LOT of money on Dyno Tunes and gets you about 99% to perfect.
Other than that they are ALL pretty much the same thing when push comes shove.
Hey guys/gals anybody using the fuelpak fp3 tuner and what’s you opinion
Had mine on for a couple of years now and am happy with it. The shop could not stop the popping but the FP3 did with one auto tune and it was gone. Bike runs well and I am not wasting money at the bike shop for fuck all in the way of improvements.
I read that V&H have updated the software capabilities for this unit recently, anecdotally it seems it is still a pinta to use on a dyno but many seem happy with individual use, let us know how you go with it, I would of thought a stage 4 would be pushing it's boundaries, the old SEPST is just good enough for that level of build in diy hands.
It’s no different to other flash tuners that don’t interface with the Dyno Machine. (SE, PV, TTS etc)
Powercommander still blows away the flash tuners
Thanks, I needed a laugh for my Monday morning.
There are many tables used in the ECM that are not accessible with the Harley software and others, this is not so much of a problem for milder builds with a suitable base calibration to work from, stage four kits from Harley have an appropriate base cal to work from but if you vary far from that combination by using different cams, exhaust, compression etc you are pushing the system past where you can make the needed adjustments.
Bit more to it than that, like I said before, access to tables is a big one, add to that the ease of editing and interacting with other software, not gunna argue with you cobber, believe whatever you like.
