You'll have no problems. Adding performance pipes & air filter does not require dyno tuning; they are low-end performance parts. You'll have no problems.

Most computer controlled motors have enough adjustment space in the program that minor changes (humidity, spark plug wear, air filter flow reduction over time, elevation changes, etc.) can be handled and adjusted for. Unfortunately, a major change that affects the performance of the motor (new increased flow air cleaner, low flow exhaust, change in valve timing, etc.) might require some recalibration. In some vehicles this is done by swapping the computer chip; you can often "do it yourself" if you know what sort of program you want. I'm not sure how the HD system is set up, but I'd want to get it in the hands of someone who has experience modifying and hopping up those HD computers. Be warned: just like any hop-up mod, you can put a lot of stress on an engine this way. If you build up the intake and exhaust system, but are putting this load on stock bearings and cranks, you may find that your motor might not last as long as you thought it should. Good luck.

I still haven't decided what my intake upgrade will be but when I do I will MOST CERTAINLY have it dyno-tuned. What's the point of spending all that money buying performance upgrades, all that time installing them and then not having them set-up to deliver peak performance. Yes, I will agree that it is quite expensive to have this done but it's a one-time thing and as long as you save the MAP settings, you can re-set your computer if you ever have an issue. The only time you'd need to have your bike dyno-tuned again would be if you made another performance modification. If you have a PowerCommander also, you can sometimes find the proper MAP on the DynoJet website to download for your current configuration. Much cheaper than a dyno-tune. Good luck!

Its a standard thing with Harley fuel injection. A suggestion though - if you intend more minor upgrades, get them now before you get the chip re-mapped.
