Setting-up the PCV-AT for mileage and cooling

Getting rid of the cat on your bike may be the key to reducing the heat. I looked at the map you're running and it looks rich enough to cool it down, but a map can only do so much and I don't think AT will help with the cooling issues compared to what you have now. Give Jamie at Fuel Moto a call and discuss it with him. I suspect the key will be to eliminate the stock pipes and go with a more free-flowing design that eliminates the cat. I would also install an oil cooler, as IMO all TC engines need one and that will help keep peak oil temperatures under control.

If I had an '09 or later bike I would go with the Fuel Moto 2-1-2 or 2-1 pipe, the PCV-AT, AC, and an oil cooler. I would then set-up the switch as per above.
 
I did replace the stock headers with V&H dresser duals what are your thoughts on the V&H fuelpak? I see on their website that they list settings for my setup,,, PC site does not. I am thinking of selling the PC V and going with the fuelpak... your thoughts???
 
The FP may have its niche, but I think moving from a PCV to a FP would be a step down in functionality. IMO all you need is a good map for the PCV. Give Fuel Moto a call even if you didn't buy the PCV from them, as they may be able to help. They don't routinely provide maps for non-customers so don't get your hopes up, but they may still be able to help. If you decide to upgrade to Auto-Tune you should definitely buy from them for the customer-service aspect if nothing else.

Going to Auto-Tune is a solution but this an expensive ($300) option that may not be necessary. It will definitely give you the option of selecting the AFR's you want at any given point in the RPM/TP grid and getting your bike tuned optimally would be a matter of getting the right advise on how to do it. Re-reading the OP in this thread would be a good starting point, then ask questions on points that need clarification.
 
The FP may have its niche as a very basic tuning device (AFR's only), but I think moving from a PCV to a FP would be a major step down in functionality. That's not a put-down of the FP, as it has its design niche and a purpose in the marketplace.

,,, looking forward to getting my map dialed in,,, no regrets,,, love my sled and the new fishtails are perfect,,,

I haven't talked with the PC folks about my map but I am guessing they would just recommend a dyno... I'll call fuel moto and buy the AT if I don'y get anywhere with a map...

Thanks!!!
