ECM Mapping, etc
Anyone out there want to shed some light for some newbies on all the PCIII/SERT/etc stuff available? My basic question is this. If I by aftermarket pipes, air cleaner, and do my own stage I, will a PCIII or similar product remap my ECM for me, or will HD still have to do this? Ir, can I use one now with stock pipes/AC and increase my performance. Any info on this topic will be great, as I'm pretty dumb in this arena. Thanks in advance.

All I ever owned were carburator bikes until my current '07 SG.
I felt lost as last years Easter egg listening to all these posts about SERT, PCIII, Tmax AT, Daytona Twin-Tec, etc., etc.
I watched, I listened, I used the search function.
After afew months, I pulled the trigger on a Thundermax with auto-tune.
I installed it on Christmas Eve. I spent most of Christmas day linking up computer, studying the manual, and getting the bike running.
It started right up. No problems.
It's running like a scalded dog today.
So far, I'm happy with my choice.
Tmax w/AT costs a little more than others, but in the long run I think it will save $$$.

I am doing slip ons and and AC. Going with the PCIII after MUCH reading.
I hope it all works out.

I looked at the Fuelpak, but I think I will go with the PCIII. My dealer is a Dynotune center for them, and there is a map for my specific combination.

IF you like to play on a laptop and know what you are doing get SERT/PCIIIUSB.
IF you have no clue or don't want to play, get something that will auto tune.
It's not rocket science tuning using SERT or PCIIIUSB.
Go to the PowerCommander website and read some of the tutorials.
I enjoy playing with fuel curves, it's what I do for a living.
