Yep, it's not cheap! I just got my PCIII for $270 and have it installed with a basic map for my bike's set up. I do plan to have a Dyno tune done in the very near future thought to optimize things perfectly. You'll get the most out of your motor if you dyno it and have a good tuner installed.

Wideglidebob, I am doing the same thing right now. I am having pipes and an air cleaner put on next week. Not sure what to do yet. I was thinking the race tuner and spending 6 bills. Then I was thinking the fuel Pak for $200 but the dealership don't like em for the altitude. The PCIII is about $600 as well. My mechanic says I need none of it. Hmmmm. the story continues. We will keep you posted what we do.
