I’m new to this forum and also just recenlty purchased my 2012 Stryker. Love it! but dissapointed in it’s low-end performance. I’ve done some research and I’m I’m planning on doning what my mechanic calls a “Stage 1 Upgrade” – putting on the Van & Hines Twin Slash Staggered pipes, Intake air filter, and Power Commander, and dialing it all in on the dynamometer. Cost is going to be about $2k which I’m fine with, just want to make sure I’m going to see a performance difference when it’s done. I’m looking for feedback from anyone who has done these upgrades, and is an “Auto Tune” nececary also or is that already part of the Dyno Jet Power Commander that I’m getting? Regards, Terry

You will definitely see the difference. Auto tuner means no need to dyno. It remaps on its own.

I just installed Cobra swept exhaust, Cobra ProFlow Intake and the Cobra FI2000 Auto programmer. I am very pleased with the sound of the new pipes, not too loud, but you can definitely hear me coming now. And as far as performance you can feel a difference right off the bat. I would highly recommend it!!

Newly installed exhaust, intake and auto tuner.

Save yourself 900 and get the autotune, V&H pipes and Aircleaner. Do the o2 resistor mod and forget the dyno.

Thanks for the recommendations and feedback.

Dynojet has an auto tune module for the Power Commander V. Cobra hasan auto tuner as well as a programmable closed looptuner and V&H has the Fuelpak. If you tell the V&H techs what parts you have they will tell you what settings to use.
I have Cobra Swept exhaust, Fuelpak and K&N filter in a full airbox mod and I'd be willing to bet it was about a20% increase in hp. It flies now!

thank you Wyld Ryde, that was helpful. looking forward to having the upgrades installed!

Save yourself 900 and get the autotune

that or the Gman Bully tuner...only $280 and it's been getting positive feedback on this forum.

I dont remember where I read this ... but I think that a guy here in the forum reported a 17hp increase with the autotune, V&H pipe and the Cobra Powerflow...

Ya that sounds a bit high but could be.
So is there a stage 2 or 3 as there is for carb bikes?

I'm not aware of any internal upgrades for our bikes...surely there's someone out there making cams and bore kits for the v-star engines though.

That is awesome. The shop that is doing my upgrades will be putting it on their Dyno so I’ll ask them if they can read the measurable horse power increase (and I’ll ask them to be straight with me). Having the work done in about 2wks so I’ll report back to you guys after it is done. BTW does anybody know what our stock HP rating is?

 

[11Stryker]

I've seen and heard from 68 to 72 HP

Stryker has 67.6 hp and the fury has a whopping 57.3 hp. More than 10 hp less than the Stryker

Ya after seeing that light weight turbo I think I will be holding off on any performance mods till i save up enough for one of those.

I know that on racer ther are usually in the 3k - 4k range ... I guess it would be the same. I would be surprised otherwise.

F1 2000 PowerPro install

I just bought a new 2011 Stryker and first thing I did was put on a Vance & Hines big radius exhaust and F1 2000 PowerPro and let me tell you it was so simple and works great. I noticed smoother throttle and power I am very happy with this new product. I highly recommend it to all stryker bikes. If you have any questions I will be happy to help.
