Actually all of your choices are "piggy-back" units. While the PCV may be the "best of the bunch", a proper flash tuner (PV, TTS, SESTP) is needed to retain proper closed-loop operation on o2 equipped bikes like your '09. I would not waste my time or money on any of your choices.

 

For simple pipes and a /c change... Super chips Vigilante flash tuner -

 

if you're not tuning the bike yourself, call the person that will be tuning it and find out what they prefer you to use.

 

Mike...so you're saying if I have no plans to go beyond a stage 1, I will not require a tuner if using the xieds?

Currently running an OEM head pipe with cat removed & xieds. Plans are to add slip ons (street cannons or reinharts) and a high flow air cleaner (ness big sucker or screamin eagle ventilator). No need for the tuner then?

By the way...very pleased with the "cat-less" head pipe & xieds.

 

There are a wide range of products on the market that will get the job done, the biggest consideration is using a product within its intended usage and working within its limitations. There is a broad range of specific features as well as a wide range of pricing. Product wise there are some really good piggyback options as low as $199.00, on the opposite end of the spectrum are complete ECM/control system replacements that run as much as $900.00 or more, ECM flash tuners are in the middle of the mix price wise and are generally considered the most comprehensive tuning platforms on the market and the best value for dollars spent.

what do you want it to do?

 

Run cooler (which it does now), sound better (sounds a bit better already) and breath a bit freer. If I gain a few horses and torque...that's a bonus.

 

I stand corrected. For some reason I read Power Commander as Power Vision. ..

 

I agree with some of the other replies. If you plan to get a custom tune then talk with your tuner guy to see what he recommends. They all have their preferences and will go with what they know how to use best. For stage-one or mild builds I would highly suggest Fuel Moto. They will send you a pre-programmed tuner and all you have to do is plug and ride.
