Can you post a link to the download.there is a map for Vance & Hines straight shots with thunder box. The Long shots doesn't look that much diferent than the Hard Krome pipes. You could try the map and see if it makes a difference. Having it Dyno'd would be better.
Thanks

- June 09, 2011, 15:04:57 PMI have a Power Commander III that I no longer need. I had it Dyno'd in when I put on my Thunder Mfg teardrop intake and my Bub long pipes, I have the CD's with all the Dyno information and mapping that resulted from the Dyno work. They dyno work alone cost $400.00

- June 09, 2011, 12:44:18 PMQuote from: 1SG CAV on June 07, 2011, 22:54:43 PMThe Powercommander website only shows 2 Vance & Hines downloads. One with and one without baffles. Nothing with the Thunderbox. Are you suggesting I use the download for the Hard Krome exhaust?Hey I know your problem. I have a PC III and a hyper-charger on my 02 1500. You can go to power commander web site and down load the map for Vance Hines without baffles and Thunderbox. This is the map I use on my bike. The thunder box is the components between the hyper-charger an the throttle body. With this map My bike runs great. Dyno the bike is truly the way to go. Hear in Oregon it cost me $250.00 Vance Hines is the closest thing I can come to for pipes. I have Hard Krome two walled headers (straight pipe) on my bike. You can do mild adjustments yourself. I will tell you that if it starts to run like crap. first check for broken wires. dailed in you'll like the way it rides.

Dyno looks like an even better idea... to me anyway!

- June 07, 2011, 09:28:22 AMI love puzzles....I just had a thought. Inside the stock airbox, on the right side, is a small sensor, the A.I.T. sensor. I don't know if this sensor is present in the air intake you have...but it could be crucial to the operation of the system. It senses the incoming air charge temp. and makes fuel adjustments based on it. Normally, the fuel trim would be richer in 50 deg. weather than in 90 deg. weather. There are also 2 idle air solenoids in the airbox. If those are not functioning correctly, or leaking, that too would enrich the mixture. Just some idle thoughts... I really have to get a life...

- June 06, 2011, 16:57:44 PMSince the day I got the bike the mileage has always be off. When I first got the bike my range to empty was about 125 miles. Since pulling the baffles the mileage dropped to 85-90 per tank. Either the initial download was wrong or you might be on to something.
I am calling a few local shops to get pricing on having the bike dyno'd.

- June 06, 2011, 16:38:37 PMSomebody either installed the wrong map for your bike, or there is another problem, like....and I've seen this on cars, a lot...the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm has a small hole in it and fuel is being sucked through the vacuum hose. I would start by installing the zero map, which takes the pc III out of the fuel control picture and lets the factory programming proceed. Does this thing smoke under load? Are the pipes sooty? Check the air filter in the box, since it's open to the "ram effect" maybe it's plugged with dead bugs and other debris
