I know this has been talked about in other threads, but I can't find the answer I'm looking for.
I am about to order Vance and Hines Competition Series pipes and SE Intake for my Fat Bob. Should I go with the V&H Fuel Pack or go with the TTS Master Tuner?
How user friendly are both of these options???????

You should go with the TTS. There is no question that TTS will get you a better tune.
As far as user friendly, is installing hardware or software friendlier for you?
The FP is hardware with a few screws to twist and turn. TTS is software with hundreds of parameters to adjust if you wish, but you don't need to go there for a tune better than a FP. The VTune system is easy to use, the hardest part is riding with a laptop in a saddlebag or back pack.
If you can't stand software, then maybe hardware would be easier for you.
So, with a TTS do I have to ride with a lap top or can they provide me with a map that would get me close? Is there any hardware to install with the TTS?
Don,t know much about the TTS, but i tried the Fuel Pack and could not dial it in no matter what. I went with a Power Commander 111 and it works great albeit i had it set up on a dyno.

They offer base maps that are close.
If you want to tune yourself you have to record some data so the tool has something to work with. You can do this riding on the street or at a dyno shop. If you are just loading their map, there is no riding.
There is no hardware to install. There is a dongle and some cable to connect from your laptop to the diagnostic plug under the fuse cover. You disconnect them from the bike when you are done.
Tuning and install manuals are on their web site, also a list of all the available maps.

I have a pcV and my bike runs great,most of the time, twice now the connector plug has filled up with water and I then have to remove it and clean it out,put it back together hook it up to a computer to make sure all is ok ,the whole process eats up a couple hours of time. Then every time I get caught in the rain I'm worried I'll have to clean it out again.Not eveybody has this problem,but it happens. If I had it to do over i would choos the tts mastertune 100%,my reasons being A-no hardware stays on the bike B-you get an almost perfect tune using the original hardware C-TTS makes the software HD used when the bike was built. And I even think I shall let my pcV go this winter and buy TTS mastertune. ! Even if it means learning which settings to play with(I'll have time this winter) and riding for a few 40 minute rides with a laptop on my back to dial it in with.The beauty of it is if you change some engine parts you just have to dial in with your computer again...............V&H fuel pak from what I've read I wouldn't want to touch one of those man i want to ride not mess with a tuner by ear ,trial and error style. Nuff said ....

Ditto on the Mastertune. Easy enough with the tuning guide that comes with it. Can be a minimal flash & you're done, a medium effort of doing some tuning rides with a laptop in your backpack, or a full-blown job on a dyno with a competent guy running it. A great product.
