Do you suppose that the IEDs would be the cause of the "dead" feeling? That seems to be the only difference except the year model. We have the same 96" and 6 speed.
Your thoughts?

I originally had the IEDs installed with HS Slips (quiet baffles) and stock AC. No 'dead feeling' on decel. Fitted SE AC and a fuelpack and now although the overall performance is good, there is a distict flat / dead feeling for a couple of seconds on decel with the throttle completely closed - as if it is running out of fuel. As soon as the throttle is opened even just a fraction it disappears and all if back to normal. From reading the FAQ on the V&H site it seems as if the injectors are indeed shut down under these conditions to reduce decel pop. I woundn't say is a harsh transition between the dead felling and slight throttle - quite sommth actually. I just find it a bit disconcerting when the engine goes flat for a second or two - like it has cut out. Two issues: 1) I don't like the feeling and 2) bit concerned about whether this hurts the motor in any way.
V&H recognise that this effect exists (see FAQ's on their website) and suggest increasing the numbers on mode 23, but don't suggest by how much.
Interested in the experience af anyone who has been down this road.....
Also Jeffytune: grateful if you could shed any more light on how mode 23 works - you left me hanging on!
Thanks all in advance
