Tired of messing around with PCIII
I make too many changes to spend the money on a dyno, I'm tired of messing the PCII which doesn't have a map for my set up, and it's all kind of a guessing game anyhow, and I refuse to purchase a SERT and dyno from HD telling me I have to go their route or my bike just won't run right.
Where is a good place to buy a Thundermax. I keep reading nothing but good about these. Thanks

Thundermax... great product. Can't argue with that.

RE: Tired of messing around with PCIII
EZlife, I have an 06 EGC, 95" big bore stage 2, 203 cams, se a/c, stage 2 download, Fat Cat 2:1 with quiet baffle. Just after I wrote this post, I thought I'd try it again. The PCII people were telling me to use a download from a bike with a stock ecu. I'm guessing to keep it running rich, and then work from there. I had little or no luck. I then tried one on my own that had the same set up as mine except for a different 2:1 pipe. What a difference! The bike runs smooth, with only a little decel popping around 1800-2000 rpm. I just hope it's not running to lean now, I'll check the plugs when it cools down and see how they look. If I can get it to run good with the PCII, I'd rather stick with it rather than spend a bunch more on a Thundermax.

Closed-loop is the only way to go if you like to change things around at will.

Good to hear ya seem to have it close. Keep checkin them plugs. I would swap'em out after a new map for 50 miles or so and pull, so I got a true read, till I finally got dialed in. Easy to read a clean set.

RE: Tired of messing around with PCIII
Thanks for the tip. I'm pretty happy with the way it's running right now, except for the decel popping, which I'm pretty sure I can get straightened out with a little tweaking. Knowing me, I'll probably end with the Thundermax in the future, but because of this forum, I've spent a bunch more dough on this bike than I should be right now and need to pull back the reigns a bit and work with what I've got. I'll pick up a couple sets of plugs today and take your advice and check them every 50 miles or so. GOOD IDEA! The weather for the rest of the week is supposed to be nice so I'll be able to get some good riding in. Thanks for your help! Kris
