Just got back from a ride, it can’t be the same bike. A couple of friends installed a PCIII on my bike and it really made a difference, Unbelievably responsive. Haven’t checked the gas mileage but at this point I don’t care. Karl and Jace I really appreciate your help. Even though it’s only an 88 it’s all I need, for now.

I understand. I installed a PCIII and then had it dyno'd..Trying to get as much of the popping to go away..The tech's did a great job...Where I noticed it the most is when I'm on the freeway and give her some throttle...
Enjoy...

I know what you mean about the freeway. Normally 3200 rpm's I'm crusing at 70. Now I'm doing 75 right at 3000 rpm's. and plenty of power left.

MJR, are you saying you only added the PCIII and everything else is stock?? Or did you change mufflers and air as well?

No, I had slip-ons and the stage 1 air filter. Put the PCIII on to take the decel popping out. Still have some popping but it runs so much better.

I think Mike had a stage one download in his ECM as well, I used a canned map for his setup with the S1 download.

Mike, I am very happy that this worked out great for you. It will be very hard to check mpgs with a pull on the throttle and a big grin on your face.

Enjoy the new ride.......
