The guy at my shop swears by the PCIII. Everyone has their favorite. I am pretty sure I am going for the PCIII from what I have been reading. I just have been scouring through forums and reviews and pretty sure I have made up my mind.

from experience there are only two valid choices for a tuner. that would be the sert, or now the updated one i think is the sest, or the pcv=power commander 5. if a product has the ness name on it, i don't want anything to do with it. Look how his influence has screwed up the victorys.

I don't know anyone here in Okinawa running the AN set up.

Most folks here either run the PC III or the V&H Fuel Pack.
I have the PC III and it does everything I need it to do.
Good thing about the PC III is you can remove your O2 sensors and plug the holes or run pipes without O2 sensor holes in them.

Thundermax all the way. saves the price of a bad dyno tune.

I like my DFO....100 bucks, 15 minutes to install, is easily adjusted using a screwdriver much like a carb. I put it on, had the control panel hanging out at the front of the seat so I could see the lights, found a long strip of deserted highway and did some "runs" to do the tuning. I did my fine tuning by monitoring my gas mileage...My bike sure ended up running good according to others that have ridden it or ridden with me and gets good gas mileage. I can't complain.

Forgive me, but DFO? Do you have a website?

Right here:

DFO and TFI are the same unit. Check eBay for good prices. I got mine for 100 bucks because they sell them to LEO/Military/Veterans/Fire at a steep discount.

If you want to fire and forget, PC-V or other piggyback unit is fastest and easy. If you want to tweak it and play with it now, or after future mods, then get the TTS. Check the EFI / tuner thread for info on TTS.
