Default Power Commander vs. Race tuner

I have an 07 Dyna Super Glide, I'm upgrading to a high flow intake and slip on mufflers, the debate is between a Power Commander vs. a race tuner from HD. I've read good reviews on the Power Commander but I'd like to know what opinions or experiences others have had. Thanks

Welcome from SW La. The PC3 is a good tuning tool and easy to use, and it is not married to the bike for good, and it is some what cheaper. The SERT which I have is much more in depth, more tuning capability,cost more,and if you are not familiar with the SERT it can be hard to tune with and finding a good tuner isn't easy.Ifyou are going with a stage1 and no morego with the PC3, if you planlater on engine work(heads,cams etc.) go with the SERT or other programmers.Hope this helps.

Welcome from Chicago!!

Try the Tuner section, but what rp763 says is good advice.
