Power Commander III Map for a 6th Gen Please...

Hi All,

I have just installed a Power Commander with what seems like little effect to me (see separate topic) and needed some help and advise on PC maps please.
I have an Australian 6th generation 2005 VFR800 with Staintune pipes with baffles in, air box valve disconnected and snorkel removed, a K&N airfilter and a PCIII with Cozye map and accelerator pump to the standard 90 - 15 - 20 settings.
None of the PC III standard maps match my configuration hence the Cozye map which has had many rave reviews.
But I'm concerned the Cozye map is for the US VFR's and the lower octane fuel therefore not optimum for my Australian version and why I'm not seeing the benefit as much as I should.
Also the one standard PCIII map that is for a 2005 VFR800 with the air box valve disconnected seems to be richened up to such a strong degree that must really negatively effect fuel economy.

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions regarding maps that may match my bikes configuration that I should consider?
Also can anyone advise approximately how much a dynotune for a personalized map for the PC III would cost as many recommend this.
Thanks heaps for any help provided.

 

How much HP or torque is the PCIII map supposed to add?

 

In my experience, little to none.
What it can do is smooth out throttle response and relieve some of the "snatchy" on/off throttle at low speeds and smaller throttle openings.
If you are one of the lucky ones that doesn't have any throttle response problems, the PC may not do much for you.
On my '04, it helped a lot.
Side note. My fuel consumption didn't take a big hit with the PC as some have reported.

 

Dyno tune is your next step, it normally run around $300

 

What octane fuel are you running? I run 91-93 octane with my Cozey map and it gave me another 8-10HP. Been a while since I had my dyno done so I dont remember.

 

As stated previously, the PC isn't much help to a stock engine as a power adder. if your AF ratio is already close , and there aren't any issues with your throttle response, then it's just a plastic box. The PC is more for the bike's whose countries have very stringent emissions requirements, as they come with very lean FI settings from the factory. Where the PC really shows it's value is after you perform extensive modifications to the engine, exhaust and intake. There are no holy grails or free lunches.
