I have a set of Rinehart TD's on the way,but having a hard time finding a tuner,need advise on spending the $$$ for the SERT or what looks better to me,the PCIII, local custom shop wants to sell me a V&H Fuelpack... I'm all ears.

 

Here are a few ideas for you; I’ll try not to be long winded. The SERT gives you programming access to the main computer. It gives you 260 parameters per cylinder. It comes with base maps then you need to have it put on a dynamometer to have the fine tuning done. This is not for the novice as it requires a guy that understands what he’s looking at and where to make the adjustments. It was really designed for racing. Run it up the track then download the run results and make adjustments to the computer for the next run. I have one on my FXSTSSE.
The other fuel packs out there do pretty much the same thing; deliver more fuel to the engine. They also come with the base maps and you can make few adjustments on some of them. I have on my FLSTC a Thunder Max with the broad band O2 sensors and the auto tune. This device replaces your onboard computer and will run you around a thousand bucks. It does work well on my bike. Again it has base maps to get you close then it auto tunes to a given map.
This is another option. http://www.nightrider.com/
Two of my buddies have them and like them real well. Very inexpensive and they set the fuel ratio to 13.7. They are inserted into the O2 sensor cables and can be installed very easily. For just a stage one modification to your bike that is what I would have done if they had been available when I made the mods to my FLSTC.
Hope this helps good luck.

Jad,

I hope you're not saying that you paid $1000.00 for your ThunderMax........[:@]

 

If I remember correctly with the tax and eveything it was around $900.00. Did I get burned? This was the auto tune unit with the new O2 sensors. I bought it from a sole owner of a small shop and I expect to pay a little more than a discount internet shop and I have a guy I can call and complain to should I need to.

I went with the PCIII when I originally put the Rinehart True Dials on my 07 SEUC and am very happy with the setup. I went with the PCIII over the SERT because the dealer didn't have a Dyno to properly tune the SERT. I had the PCIII installed and setup at Dyno Solutions. I was just hit with the dreaded oil leak on the 110" at 9600 miles and the dealer is going to replace the cylinders. I am taking advantage of the tear down and installing 10.5:1 pistons, SE 251 cam and replacing the PCIII with the SERT now that the dealer has a Dyno up and running to tune it. I will end up with an extra PCIII for an 07 SEUC if you or anyone else wants it at a greatly reduced price.

 

How long before your ready to sell the PCIII? I would be interested,you can email me if you want, redbaron121772@aol.com

 

+1 for the PCIII...Better all round performance product.

Mike

 

+1 Sert
Get two years warranty with the bike. If you show up at your dealer with your PC3 on the bike say good buy to warranty

 

I'll make sure I dont do that,just a bunch of a$$holes at my dealer anyway,my salesman bet me $50 my roadking had a revolution motor on it,still swears thats what HD told him.

 

The issue of SERT vs PCIII has been debated here and on other forums. Probably the best "Rule of Thumb" is to go with the one your tuner perfers and is the most proficient in tuning. Either the SERT or the PCIII are capable of doing a good job for you.

With the Rinehart TD's I would steer clear of the FuelPak as most setups for the FuelPak are for V&H pipes and mufflers.

Good luck.
