Try dropping a block of numbers by 3 to 5 in the 2% and 5% throttle range of 2200 to 3000. That's where you'll normally cruise and the small percentage should not cause any problems. Just watch for heat, pinging and any drivability issues. That's what is nice about the PCIII, you can play around and always change it back. -- Tom

You might get a more precise answer if you contact the PCIII tech support. I have been corresponding with them by e-mail with some other items about the PCIII and they have been very thourough with their responses.

Slightly off subject. The dealer installed the PC3 on my 2001 FLHPI prior to me taking delivery, it was preowned, but only had 6000 miles on it.

Q: I was not given the cable nor the instructions. Can I get these after the fact or am I at the mercy of the dealer?

Q: Can I learn how to tinker with it like you are?

Q: is the cable a standars USP cable that can be purchased at Wal Mart-Radio Shack ect?

Standard USB cable to connect to unit. You can download program and instructions from Power Commander website to your laptop.
