JFWIW, we didn't like the feeling of a stall at stops. Never had a heating issue with our 07 Dyna Low with the PCIII zero throttle settings. Ran very cool and hauled SS.

My 09 manual says the dealer has to activate on the dyna models (the rear cylinder cut off) and it comes loaded automatically on the touring models.
I bought a PCV from fuel moto and it runs great, no dead spots, odd idle or missing. Maybe Jesse can send you another map. Pull your plugs to see if they are light tan/brown. That is a good indicator if your rich or lean...white is lean, black is rich.

Under every other condition the bike is incredible, just idling while hot after some stop and go, mostly first gear and only hitting second to coast. Even after it does it, once I get going its fine again.

You should honestly see a color change within a few miles of riding. When you pull the plug, you will see what to look for on the electrode, the 90 degree bent piece of metal over and all around that area. It's obvious once you pull a plug.
