I wanted to see if it was the Fuelpak or the ECU causing the miss, so I removed the Fuelpak and the problem went away.
I had asked several questions about the Power commander and the H.D. race tuner downloads.Does anybody know what the stock horsepower and torque is on my bike now and what could be gained by purchasing either the PC or Race tuner? I dont plan to do any engine work such as cams or heads in the future so I would like to get the Max out of the engine now. What should I do?
Thanks for any advice. |
Dave,
Sorry about the lack of answers. I get busy sometimes and get behind. If you need faster assistance, use our tech support number 520-750-8884 option 1.
Stock, the TC88B puts out around 62hp and 72ft lb of torque.
A Stage 1 (traditional not H-D's version) usually results in a 10-20% increase in power. The type and design of the exhaust is large factor in the final results as well as proper tuning.
To answer your question specifically, one will provide the same results as the other
if they are setup and configured properly. Both are tuning devices and both have very similar features. The major difference is that the PC is a piggy back unit and the HRT rewrites (flashes) the ECU's EEPROM.
Remember, an engine is an air pump with a known capability to pump air. Add the correct amount of fuel at correct time will get the max power. Simple way of looking at it but very true.
It does not matter if you are using a carb or a fancy closed loop EFI or what we have now. To get the most power you have to get the tuning right.
