dognut,

I just put on a PCIII USB with a custom map loaded by Fuel Moto. Goes with my Rush slip ons and K&N Filter. Installation wasn't too bad and I eliminated the O2 sensors (Standard for 2007 models). Bike runs awesome...haven't had a chance to track gas mileage yet.

Stock TC88 w/V&H Straightshots, Ness Big Sucker and the PCIII... "plug and play" install using a canned map downloaded from the CD (no dyno)...2,500 miles later the bike runsand sounds great...gas mileage in the high 30's...no problems here.

I went with the PCIII and a dyno tune after researching it myself. Bike is awesome and the PCIII will give you more room to grow with mods if you ever choose to do so. One thing I learned a long time ago with everything you do do it right the first time even if it costs you more initially it will save you in the long run.

I have been told by many, for $100.00 more go with the SERT and dyno.

if your gonna spend any more go with terry components, its a closed loop system that will adjust your a/f ratio on the fly for different loads, 2-ups, and altitude and heat...... If I had the choice & wanted to spend the cash thats what I would have done...

dognut...there are as many opinions on this subject as there are chrome goodies in the HD Parts and Accessories Catalog! It seems that the PCIII is a very popular option and works very well! It appears as if all of the systems work well, but I think that the final decisiondepends on what you intend on doing to your engine in the longrun.

I installed V+H BSS with the Screamin' Eagle Stage I and the PCIII with a canned map from Fuelmoto. Eliminated the O2 sensors with this mod. Very easy and works like a champ! Bike runs cooler, stronger, and no decel popping whatsoever! These (exhaust and intake) will be the only engine mods I make...so for me the PCIII was a perfect choice! I have no need for a more detailed, flexible, or high performancetuning process.

I hope this helps...good luck!

Steve
