Default PC3 USB

Can Anybody Explain How to Advance Timing on the PC3?
I Just Changed Pipes and Actually ExperiancedaHP Loss!!! I Immediately Swapped Out the SE Teardrop Cover Back to the Stock One. It's a Little Better But the Pipes Are Shorter(BG2 Short Slashers W/H.P. Performance Baffles)Than the Stock System(SE2 Slip-Ons). Went from 96HP/95ft./Lbs to 89 HP/99 Ft/Lbs. Dyno Tune & Set Up Was $200.00!. Last Time it Was Advanced About 8 Deg.(What I Was Told). But it Did Ping Below 1800 on Hard Accel. This Time for What Ever Reason They Didn't Advance it? Hell! I'm a Computer Systems Engineer With a Mechanics Background. I Figure I Aughta Be Able to Put About 6 Degrees in Somewhere to Compensate for the Shorter Exhaust!
Anybody Help? Thanks
Specs:
A Motor FXDWG '04
95 H.O.
SE 257

Isn't there a 2nd tab for bringing up the page to enter settings for altering your ignition timing, just like the page you have to add or remove fuel?
I left mine alone, but I know I've seen it. I have the PCIII USB.

Open power commander program.
Open map file and pick your map or, when connected to the bike, do a "get map"
There will be at the top of the tables two headers Fuel table 1 and ignition table 1, click header ignition table 1.
Use the mouse and click the cell or use the up/down, right/left arrows. Highlight the cell and put in the number you want.
Save file, send map or, send table.
