Fuel Throttle Podcast

Fuel injectors are one of the most misunderstood—and most important—components in your Harley’s performance. In Episode 6, Jamie and Lucas break down how to properly choose the right injector for your build using real-world data, not internet myths.
They cover OEM injector sizing across Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight platforms, how to read ECU data like duty cycle and pulse width, and why bigger injectors don’t mean more power. You’ll also learn the often-overlooked factor that can make or break drivability: minimum pulse width and low-speed control.
Whether you’re building a mild cam setup or a high-horsepower engine, this episode gives you the knowledge to avoid common mistakes, improve tuning accuracy, and get the most out of your combination.
In this episode:
 Why injector size should be based on your engine—not guesswork 
 How to log and interpret duty cycle and pulse width 
 The truth about the “80% rule” (and what actually works for Harleys) 
 Why oversized injectors hurt low-speed performance 
 Real-world guidelines for Twin Cam and M8 injector sizing 
 The importance of spray pattern, fuel pressure, and injector quality 
If you’ve ever wondered whether you actually need bigger injectors—or how to choose the right ones—this episode will save you time, money, and frustration.

In this episode, Jamie and Lucas dive into some of the biggest truths — and misconceptions — in the V-Twin performance industry.
After more than 25 years in the business at Fuel Moto, they’ve seen the evolution of motorcycle performance firsthand. From early internet forums and eBay messaging to today’s Facebook groups and social media influencers, the way riders get information has changed dramatically.
But with that shift has also come a lot of misinformation, bias, and inflated claims.
In this conversation they break down:
• How the V-Twin industry has evolved over the last 25 years
• The role social media plays in shaping rider opinions
• Why dyno charts and horsepower numbers can be misleading
• The truth about Auto-Tune and modern tuning tools
• Why firsthand experience matters more than repeated internet advice
• Common misconceptions about cams, injectors, and performance builds
• How shops and companies sometimes influence online conversations
They also share real insights from the thousands of bikes Fuel Moto works with every year through dyno tuning, remote tuning, and dealer support.
The goal of this episode is simple: help riders make informed decisions and understand how performance really works.
Whether you're new to Harley performance or deep into engine builds and tuning, this episode offers an honest look at the industry — without the hype.

When you call Fuel Moto, the goal isn’t to sell you a part — it’s to set you up for success.

Bob shares what it’s really like answering hundreds of calls every week, from cam recommendations to big bore builds, tuning questions, and realistic performance expectations.

How Fuel Moto’s phone system works and who you’ll talk to

The difference between race builds and real-world street engines
Why realistic expectations lead to better outcomes
When to call, when to email, and how to get faster support
