I have a 07 Ultra Classic and want to change the mufflers and add the stage 1 kit. I have gotten contradicting stories from the HD dealers about using the harley race tuner or the power commander. Which is the best route to take here. I know there is a little more money in the race tuner but if in the long run thats the better way to go I think the extra money would be well spent. One harley dealer claims the tuner is best and the PCIII won't work on my bike! Another harley dealer says the PCIII is great and no need to go to the tuner! Who is one to believer here?? Any advice would be appreciated on this one. Plan to install the Rush 2.0 slash mufflers along with the air kit.

Both will work...or should work. The Race Tuner tends to be much more expensive and has to be programed by the HD guys. The Power Commander is less expensive. You can do the basic tune yourself by installing the download map from their website. The main thing to keep in mind is that with the download map, it will be close, but you need a good dyno tuner to pull it all the way in.....of course, with the race tuner, the tech also needs to be good on the dyno, or it will not be pulled in tight either...... a third option you may look at would be something like the Zippers Thundermax with AutoTune.....it has O2 sensors and makes adjustments on the fly based on the exhause gases makeup....... Good luck!

another thingto remember is the pc can go bike to bike, the race tuner is engine/puter spicific, you have a putr problem you need a new race tuner, allthough a race tuner can be dialed in per cylinder, injector, timing and such where as the pc3 are more of a general fuel adjuster.

and like afn said to get the most out of any tuner, a dyno is only as good as the operator, and a good dyno tuner, can make anything scream.
