I have held off installing these until the 1k service figuring I would do it all at once with the SERT. Now that idea is out the window as I am opting for the FuelPak and saving the extra money. Is there an advantage to having the Stage 1 download along with the FuelPak? Also will the FuelPak support a "mild" cam swap like the SE 204? What are shops generally charging for the Stage 1 download?

Hi.
Ok, If all you plan is a stage one, then, no there is not real advantage to having the dealer stage one download, there is a program for both usually.
As to cams, I had a set of se-255 given to me, I asked V&H about this, and they said they they didn't have a program to use those cams with the stock ECM in a 96 cid engine.
Now, If I were to install them with the factory 103 kit, and the 103 download, then I am ok, as then have that open on file.
So the answer was, no, BUT........
Since the se-255 is popular with 96 2007 owners, they offered me this deal....
If I will bring my bike to they (In Santa Fe springs California) they will make and appointment to use my bike as a "Dyno Dog" to build up a program for me, free of charge.
They get to keep and use this program for others who want to install these cams, and I get a free dyno tuning.
Now before you think they treat me differently then there other customers, they really do not, to then I am just another customer.
So the answer is, if they have your engine/cams/pipes and filer combo on file, your good to go. If they do not, then you may have to ask and then take your bike to them.
Just another example of how fine a company Vance and Hines really is.
