Jeff, you might want to do some research on this site and elsewhere about that Cobra product before you take delivery and install it. It doesn't allow you to make any changes to the programming, it doesn't alter the stock map in the ECM, won't let you overwrite or replace the stock map like when you do a dyno tune, it won't do much of anything other than adjust fuel under acceleration. It is in no way a complete tuning solution, but it costs just as much as a real solution like TTS or SEPST.

btw, the following was copied from a post on another thread, and it was from an email the person received from Cobra.
"But remember, this only corrects fuel. It does not correct poor product
choices or combinations (say a high flow air filter with restrictive exhaust
pipes). It does not alter timing. And the Continuously Variable Tuning
feature works under acceleration only."
Hi Jerry,
thanks for the info. You are correct on all counts that you mention. I have a great deal of experience with this unit. I have one on my V-Rod, and for me, it's absolutely fantastic. Everyone is different but i don't want to have to deal with downloading maps, and possibly having to change loads when I take my bike out to Colorado and run the mountain passes due to a drastic change in altitude, and another load if I make a performance mod change. I actually like the fact that it does not alter the stock ECU. If I ever experience any problem with the bike, all I do is pull 4 wires: two on the injectors, and two on the o2 sensors, and bam, the bike is bone stock....no warranty hassles or issues whatsoever.
The increase in power from a seat of the pants perspective I got on the V-Rod was just phenomenal. I couldn't believe the difference when I hooked it up.
And regarding dynos, again, everyone is different, but I never have had my bikes on dynos and won't for numerous reasons.....
I like the "plug it in and forget it" approach to the Cobra. My local dealer has put over 100 of these on Softails, Dynas, and Touring Bikes before the customers even took delivery in many cases due to the fantastic results they have seen......
I have read countless(and I mean countless) reviews on virtually every tuner there is and what I found is there is not a single one that is perfect in every way....they all make trade-offs in one form or another. I happened to find one that operates in the manner I like and works great for me.
