power commander for fifth gen: worth it?

[Burger]

as i get closer and closer to wrapping up my fifth gen resto, i'm thinking more and more about things to do to it after it's running. one of the things that crossed my mind is a power commander. couple questions first though:

 

-with regards to smoothness and evenness of power delivery, not necessarily max power numbers, what sort of improvements are there to be found over stock fueling? (with and without mods; i do plan to add a full exhaust eventually but don't know when that will happen.) or rather, how bad is stock fueling, and how well would a PC improve it? (my bike is unfortunately still not running so i can't find out for myself)

 

-the new PC6 can take an input for coolant temp; i'm assuming the intended use is to enrich the mixture when cold. since my new engine is from an '01 and has the maligned thermostatic choke, would this allow me to just delete the choke entirely?

Yes for the 50 state version. I bought a CA one and it is much less excellent as it does nothing at lower RPM.

There is no 50 state version.

 

I so rarely get to show some expertise on VFRD that I had to jump in quickly.  😎

the california model is perfectly legal in the other 49 states, therefore it's the 50 state version.

 

mine's a 49 state model so this is rather all a moot point.

Not a question of legality, but power production.

i know, i was just explaining to homeboy what "50 state version" meant, since he thought they didn't exist

A PC3 will net you circa 10-12HP over stock so go from 95-105-107RWHP with everything else stock. The PC5/6 are a huge waste of money as they don't bring anything to the party with our older engine electronics. I'm not sure if PC do a fuelly module for the VFR, I have one on my X300, it just does fuel adjustments & is half the price of a PC5/6 !
