My pcv was great when I was running the SE slip-ons with the RSD A/C but when I installed the fatcat I couldnt get a canned map that would stop the popping on deceleration. Had to get a dyno tune now she runs perfect.

As long as Jamie knows what A/C and pipes you're running I think it'll be just plug & play from there. I was a little excited about the computer hook-up too but have actually never done it. Runs great.

Cool... just thought of one thing... the dealership said they removed my 02 sensors because I didn't need them with my setup... I forgot to tell Jamie about that when I ordered it.... wonder how much that really matters? I mean if they are just unplugged I can plug them back up.

I honestly haven't been too impressed with Fuel Moto. The map they sent with my PC V for the Rush slip-ons popped on decel alot and didn't really make any more power in combination with their stage 1 intake. I got a new map from them for my new V&H Big Shots and that popped like crazy on decel too. It is hard to get them to respond to emails, and the last email I sent a couple of weeks ago I got no response. Right now I am running the canned map from the Dynojet website and it makes good power with slightly less popping.

Try adding a little more fuel in the first couple vertical rows on the map. Should help get rid of that pop...

I will have to try that, thanks. I'm looking at the map now, so I would increase the throttle % from 0 to maybe 2? And I guess on the 500 and 750 RPM range since they are all at 0? Thanks....

Yep, yer probly either gonna have to run Bootcamp or Parallels or some other Winblows VM on Mac in order to run the PC-V software. I just use my wife's Acer netbook for now to run the software for my ThunderMax, but I'm looking at getting an older Dell laptop (like a D600) with a serial port & using that exclusively for tuning my bike. I wanna keep the Macs Winblows-free...
