Curious as to what the majority say here. I have a 2018 chieftain with stage 2 Indian cams, stage one pipes and air cleaner, as well as the Indian flash. Also cat is gutted. Looking at a tune from honnies garage also known as mad monkey. Would I be better off doing that or a pv3 or pv4 and save a little bit of money. Indian tune rpm hunt’s idling from 850 to 1000 rpm’s, and also has some throttle surging under light throttle which is aggravating in traffic

PV3 is proven & also check out RVS Performance, Lloyd'z, FuelMoto. Best bang for you $$$ is a good tune.
I would second PV3 … at this point it seems a PV4 is mainly for getting a canned tune … but I understand DJ is possibly going to expand what it can do (in terms of recording logs and importing them to the C3 software) … Maybe someone with a PV4 can tell us what it can do at this point …
The idle surging is more than likely the intake boots (called intake adapters)being cracked,they are inexpensive,and a bit of a pain to R&R but if they are replaced at least you'll have peace of mind knowing thier not an issue-no tune will be optimal until these types of issues are corected.
Another vote for a PV3. 15 Chieftain, same set up as yours except Rinehart slip ons..
I ran the Indian stage 2 tune for a while and it was ok. Purchased the PV3 from Fuel Moto. (They had the best value, including lifetime tunes if the setup is changed etc.). Had Craig B tweak the FM tune and it runs great.
In my best "technical terms" my "butt dyno" says it feels like it added as much "umph" to the stage 2 setup as the stage 2 setup added to the stage 1.
Good luck and keep us posted!

I can't speak for Craig's times but I bought a pv3 from fuel moto and ran the dynojet tune that came with the device and ran the fuel moto tune and I didn't see much difference. It'd say the bulk of the changes will be made in the dynojet tune and anything else is just money spent. Just my opinion.
My son-in-law Matt rides a Chief Bobber with Indian Stage1 intake, Dean Speed slip-on exhaust and Indian Stage 2 camshafts. He recently had the Lloyd’z RTC V1 tune done at Pitt Cycles. The bike is a very strong 111 Chief Bobber!
