Mine doesn't die @ 4 grand, it"s just hitting it's stride. You have other issues or a bad PCV. I'm sure it happens.

I have the 103" in my 2010 FLHTK. Have 6500 miles on it. No problems thus far.

+1 @ 11,000 miles. Does this 103 come with an oil cooler? 2010 FLHTK does and I think it's a bit of a must considering how hot these motors run.

I have a SE Ventilator on it and the cat has been dug out of the headpipe and it still makes a lot of heat. This can be a huge advantage in rider comfort where I live but there was a couple days in August in stop/go traffic in Kelowna when I thought I was going to have a meltdown on my hands.

I can't really comment on performance vs TC 96 because I've never ridden a 96. I did notice an improvement when I hit the 6,000 to 8,000 mile range though so don't pass judgement right away.

Update. As I suspected the problem with the engine dying had to do with the fact the CAN termination plug had not been installed on the autotune box. Once the CAN plug is installed the PC V could read/get data from the O2 sensors and the PC V already started adjusting my fuel tables to meet the A/F ratios given. She now revs over 4K....the rest of the issue about how high it revs will be tuned out. Apparently the base numbers/tuning on the map (adjustment table) were either too much fuel or too little. Or...the PC V shuts the rpms down when it is setup for autotune but can't read the sensors. Either way the problem is solved. Now, need to ride it and let the Autotune do it's adjustments to the base table and then I will know whether it was too lean or rich.

Anyway, I really like this PC V w/AT and we will see how I like the increase of TQ/HP with the addition of the cam.

After this gets tuned out. If anyone buys a 2011 with the power pac and then adds a SE 255 cam, V&H power dual and an A/C.....let me know and I can email you the map after all the corrections have been made. If you buy the AT, then you will have something very close to what your bike actually needs and the AT will not have much tuning to do. Heck....it would probably work for other exhaust systems and still not have much tuning to do.

The 2011 factory 103 includes the oil cooler.

I put the SE intake and Propipe on my RGU and now it pulls hard. My dealer laoded a map until it gets a dyno tune and truthfully the map is pretty good. There is defilitely a difference without the cat.

Sure helped the low-end on mine! The dyno-tune didn't give me a whole lot more than the download, but it did reduce the heat significantly. It was too lean in some spots, too rich in others. Both will increase the temperature of the pipes.

Love my 103. I rode it the first 1000 miles with stock engine. Big difference. I went witht the Stage II. I reccomend a cam change and either Manual Compression Release, or ACR. Not needed in most but while it is apart. it can't hurt.
