Default S&S VFI-No Respect?

Maybe I am missing somethingbut it seems like the S&S VFI engine management system is the Rodney Dangerfield of tuning equipment, I never see it mentioned in magazine articles,comparisons or these forums. I use it on my 01 turbo Ultra, just curious if anyone else does.

I have it on my 02 RG 95"hc. This will be the first summer running it. What do you think of it and do you have and maps to share?

Because I am using it on a turbo application with some tricks, such as using the barometric pressure sensor for boost control, I don't have any maps to share for a non turbo application. Based off of the responses, or lack of, it obviously is not that popular. Mine is the older model before the O2, closed loop capabilities. For an Alpha-N system (throttle position load based) itseens to bea good system but lacks good product support. I've emailed them numerous times with questions without any responses. Even talked to a representative at Sturgis that promised to have someoneget back with me, no response. It should work well for your application providing you get it properly tuned.

Having never experianced their CL system I can't comment but tuningtheir OL system is very logical and simple. I'm surprised it's not more popular because it was available longbefore many of the alternativeson the marketnow.
