Power Commander V, what to expect?
Just looking for an idea what to expect, currently the bike runs an HD Stage 1 flash. After the new pipes were installed I took her for a quick spin and I truly felt the difference over the Samsons, but the front tube (Samson) was crushed a bit which is why I went with new V&H BS Staggereds. I installed the Ness Big Sucker today and everything was incredible, not like I noticed any seat of the pants punch, but it was just smooth.
Now I'll be installing a Dynojet PC V with a map for the new pipes and big sucker kit. I don't believe I'll experience any wheel popping power but I'm curious what to expect. I'm not building a hot rod bike, I just want her run as smooth as she can. Thanks.

Did near the same to my 09 FXD, only a Screaming Eagle stage 1 AF, canned tune from Jamie at Fuel Moto
I noticed a nice low end bump in power and torque, a little quicker out of the hole and at the beginning of each gear shift.
Run's smooth, great sound.
Look at it this way, your not making a mistake at all.

After taking her out yesterday for an hour so she was very responsive and the power seemed to be right there. I'm not sure I even needed the PC V but the money is spent and I was curious if there'd be more of a noticeable gain?
A PC can optimize your set-up. It's a very narrow window to get it perfect. You can change things in the tables to make it Jeykel or Hyde. Sounds to me like you want it "smooth" and willing to leave some horsepower on the table. Can't say I blame you as some tuners can make a bike so wild that it isn't "streetable."

Opted to return the Power Commander, bike is running excellent with the HD Stage 1, no decel pop, power band is incredibly smooth throughout. I don't want to mess with a good thing.

The flash was done by the PO and I had it check to make sure it was there, bike runs great, I'm happy.
