You have to get which ever tuner that your dyno guy recommends. They will all give ruffly the same in the end, but if your dyno guy can't use a PCV then you will suffer a loss in HP or $$$ buying the one he is used to in the 1st place.
Now with that being said I use the PCV (5) It works for me and what I do with my bike and running Nitrous. The PCV allows 2 maps and with a flip of a switch your running another map, say be it a NO2 map or a fuel economy map or a different elevation map if that's what you needed.
I do all my own tuning and I have a data logger that I capture air/fuel ratios and rpms/throttle positioning so that I can plot and create my own maps. It's fun and it feels like I'm tunning my old blown and tubed Firebird.
But remember it all comes down to your dyno tuner and if he is comfortable to use the unit you purchased.

They're not cheap! I'm looking at the Thunder MAX EFI module. $900.00
It replaces the factory ECM. Easy install, more power, better throttle response, cooler engine, idle control and adjustable rev limiter, HUGH base map library included and it's the only one you ever need (per the manufacturer.)
New exhaust, cams, add inches, nitrous... supposedly it can handle it AND no dynos required.

Good luck,

Any chance of elaborating a little further on this. I've been running Revolution Performance EMS for over a year now (2 set's of cams and 3 exhaust systems) and it's been flawless. Not just that, but I believe this is the first bad experience I've heard of. I have run PC's, ThunderMax and TTS in the past, and the EMS has worked the best for me...
4 times with one of them where they came here. During this time we had to
do 5 oil changes due to fuel in the oil. We gave up the beginning of August
and put in the TTS. We did get our money back on the unit going through
Frank at Drago's where we bought it through.
If we babied the throttle and did nothing but very easy throttle work it seemed
fine, if we rode normal giving it some throttle or got on the interstate it sucked
gas 30 mpg avg and we could smell the fuel riding. Plugs looked like we were
running coal each time we checked them, 4 sets of plugs changed during this time
also.
We never got anything in the way of a reply why the bike ran like this, if fact
the beginning of August we found some things that we thought were part
of the problem but those e-mails went unanswered also.
So we went to the TTS and finally got the bike running tune wise thanks to
all the help from Steve at TTS and Mayor. But it was too late for the engine,
we finally got 2300 miles on a oil change but then noticed oil loss due to the
fuel washed rings.
Bike was test ridden in all speed conditions repeatitly but never came around
to run with good gas mileage.

Google maps indicates that your about 135 miles (2 hours 21 minutes) from one of the premier tuners in the entire nation. Doc's opinion is TTS, end of story.
Who's opinion are ya lookin' for?
Just sayin'
