Race Tuners,power commanders, etc
Ok, I have been constantly hearing that if you change the exhaust and airbox then its necessary to remap the ECMwith either an aftermarket device such as the V&H FuelPak, Powercommander, etc. or go with the Harley Race tuner. I have an 07 FLSTC with Rush slipons and plan on adding the Stage 1 SC air intake. Of course my dealer is pushing the Race Tuner and everone seems to pretty much agree that is is a good product. However the dealer says an hour of labor is all it will take so it sounds like they are planning on using a ready made map and not putting it on a dyno. My question is though in the April edition of American Iron there is an article on page 186 where they replace the stock air intake with an S&S quick set up kit and a set of S&S slip on mufflers. The author of the article states that the stock ECM will automatically readjust itself after approximately 15 minutes on a dyno with no adjustments, aftermarket devices, or a race tuner. So if this is true then why would I need to purchase a Race Tuner or aftermarket device since my Rush Slipons and SC stage 1 air intake are not that much different than the S&S slipons and air intake???

Did you ask them if they were going to dyno the bike? If they are going to just install the SERT base map that comes with the software then you can do that yourself in about 15 minutes.

I am not sure what they would adjust the ECM with.

You don't need a tuner if you get the Stage 1 download from your dealer. But you probably won't be happy with the results.
