OK, here are a couple questions that relate somewhat to my other post "Modified 103 needs help".  

Following my first dyno done a few weeks ago, I was told I have the old version of the PC3.  (The one where you have to turn the bike off and back on between adjustments)

First question: Other than convenience for tuning, does it make any sense to upgrade my PC to the newest model?

2nd question: Is it worth the money to replace the PC module with a Race Tuner?

The best advice I hear over and over is only use a race tuner if you have someone in your area that is familar with it and has a good reputation tuning with a RT.

If those are your only 2 choices stay with the power commander it has a lot more adjustment points than the race tuner!

Sorry Dawg, you're incorrect.  The Powercommander only does fuel, spark and acceleration fuel (if it's a USB version)  Also, it does spark by tricking the ecm on the MAP read which in turn affects your fuel.

The Tuner does fuel (in more ways than one), spark (without affecting VE), accel fuel, decel fuel, Warmup fuel, cranking fuel, rev limit, monitors all data values, resets codes, estimates hp and tq.  Unfortunately people who don't understand VE and just start changing the SERT Air Fuel request usually trash talk it because they don't get the results they want when in reality they do not understand the product (not saying this is you - just pointing out thet the SERT is SUPERIOR when it comes to what it can do.

I see the mistakes all the time - people change pipes and think that when they type in 13.8 : 1 in the SERT Air Fuel request table that they get it.  They don't understand the principles behind the product.

Wow. This is like "Topic Of The Week" I think there is a post that asks this question every week. Seems like everyone has opinion or personal preference. My suggestion is go with the recommendation from your tuner, ultimately he/she will be the one tuning your bike and for whatever reason they prefer one product over the other probably means they are more comfortable tuning with said product. For that reason alone I would suggest going with there recommendation, unless you want to be there guinea pig and have them learn a new system at the expense of your bike.  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]
