Default Heavy Breather or Similar Air Cleaner

I have a 2013 Iron 883 with an Arlen Ness Big Sucker on it, with V&H Big Radius pipes, and a V&H FuelPak management system.

I would like change out the air cleaner to a forward facing cone type of air cleaner like the Heavy Breather or K&N style. Is it possible to just switch it out with out having to adjust the FuelPak or do I need to have it reprogrammed to account for the new cleaner?

Thanks, but I have a buddy with a Nightster that will take it if I choose to switch it out.

Just curious why the FuelPak would need to be reprogrammed if I'm changing out a Hi Flow air cleaner with another Hi Flow air cleaner...

See how it runs before reprogramming. I have the Screaming Beagle AC and when a K&N filter was installed, initially there was some popping. Went away after re-torquing all exhaust clamps.

IMO, you should be fine. The Big Suckers move a lot of air, same as the K&N's.
