Default Magneti Manelli and tune?

So i just purchased a 2000 RK a few weeks back. Its got about 28k + or -. Im planning on digging into the cam tensioners, and I figured I'd do the cams as well. I have a good buddy, that actually had a set of Andew 26's that he bought and never used. He's going to give me a smoking deal on them. However, I've been looking for a map for the PCIII for my setup. I've been reading that the MM injection is a nightmare, and it takes a special touch to get it dialed in.

I talked to a local shop, and he said he'd need to spend most of the day on the dyno with it, and that he was even a little scared to attack himself. I've also read the complete opposite, and that its as simple as getting a new map. What do I believe.

Here's its current setup.
Bub true Duals,
Rinehart Mufflers
Screaming Eagle AC
PCIII

PLease help!

cheers,
kyle

I have a 99 RK in which I just had a 95" kit installed. It also has a PCIII in it now, and as far as I know they had no problem with it on the dyno. Also had 510 gear-drive cams installed. Dyno chart shows 95 HP and 107 ft-lbs. The bike runs great, so I don't think there was any problem with the Marelli FI.

Ok great. Thanks for the response. I was starting to figure that. I mean I know those MM EFI's can be a little finicky, but I've seen/read plenty of upgrades people have done with it.

cheers,

I had a 95" 01 Road glide with Pro-Pipe, 203cams and PCIII with a fuel moto map. It ran like a champ for 80000 miles.

Thanks for the response as well Roadrunner. I'm starting to think that this local INDY may not be the best place for me. Time to keep looking.
