What do you think you gain from the VFC? Will it be worth the money you spend? If its only to get better mileage and you only get a mile a gallon more then how many miles till it pays for it self? If its to be come smoother how much smoother do you think it will be?
Power how much is X number of horse power gain on the seat of your pants? It will never be a rocket un less you add cams exhaust air cleaner and so on. All bikes are not the same so if you pick up 7 horse is that enough to beat a harley or to get on the free way quicker? Who know but only you.
Tell us the truth why do you want one? |

Fargo, ND | Unless you're doing other mods, I don't think you'll gain much other than the ability to tweak the tuning. Power gains will probably be negligible, but I could be wrong. |

dinwiddie, va | Ok... You aren't going to feel any H.P. gain. It will probably gain 2-5 without changing anything else. But it will deliver the fuel that the bike needs, in return it will help to run a little cooler. I have installed tuners on bikes with stock exhaust and reusable high flow air filters, and the fuel mileage has been claimed to be up to 7 miles to the gallon better. That's not by the computer. That's the old fashioned math way. If you are planning on adding things like exhaust, air cleaners, cams. I would go ahead and do it. If not. I would probably put the money somewhere else. Unless the potential fuel mileage gain is worth it to you. |

Jasper, MO | The VFC is designed to let you add more fuel to take advantage of what you've done to add more air flow. Done by itself, about all you'll accomplish is the ability to fine tune your bike and compensate for the lean EPA mandated factory ECU map. You might be able to make your bike a little smoother running and help the fuel economy a bit with just a VFC. If you add a Lloydz or Ness intake, along with the VFC, you'll probably pick up a few ponies. Unless you just want a different sound, I don't believe there is any need to change the stock exhaust to see big power gains. Aftermarket pipes may make more peak power at some point in the range, sometimes at the expense of power in another part of the range, but the stock exhaust actually works pretty darn good across the range most of us spend most of our time riding in. For the best advice on the subject, I would call Lloydz. http://www.lloydz.com/

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | vegas99, At AVR last year I had Lloyds put on VFCIII and intake plate. He nodded his head like something was wrong. I was concerned that something went wrong. He said he'd never seen such good numbers on a virtually stock Vision. Maybe it was psychological, but the bike seemed to have much better throttle response and I have been quite happy. I'm thinking of going to Atom Bombs now and debating whether I really even want to spend money on cams.
