Installed Billet Big Sucker (Stage 2), no fuel pack of any type. Yes, I am aware of the controversy. Big improvement in power throughout the range, but especially from upper midrange on up. Look at the photo below. 2 into 1 pipes installed as well, without cats. Air cleaner looks great too.

Got it on eBay, new in box. Retail was $225, paid $175. Worth every penny.

No recal or fuelpack on my 09 with Big Sucker and cobra slipons. Runs great. No extra heat and plugs look good. Run 89 o fuel most of the time. No pinging. Runs too good to fool with it till I change the cams.

Ness Big Sucker, check ebay, seller: easternpc

Got mine with chrome backing plate for $115 shipped

The Big Sucker is an easier, tidier install than the screaming eagle- the reusable oiled filter is a plus over the S/E's paper disposable filter- and the chrome backing plate nicely complements the chrome highlights on the motor and is an easier wipe down on wash day

( make sure you get the correct version for your year, 08 and up use a larger throttle body)

2009 FLHTC, Big Sucker and Supertrapp hi flow mufflers with stock headers ( no cat).
I use nightrider.com XIEDS on the o2 sensors

opening up the flow on the in and out will get you 7 to 10 horsepower, the least expensive and most reliable HP you will ever get on an H-D

Thanks for all the feedback. I ended up going with the Kuryakyn Hi-Five Mach 2. I haven't decided yet o nthe Fuelpak. Looking at the Cobra F2000 Power Pro Tuner now.

Ness Big Sucker is a quality product. I have no complaints. I am surprised the "tuner police" haven't blown this thread up about running an upgraded A/C with no tuner....LOL.

Good luck.
