But Chris has been excellent. Everything has been sorted no arguements even sorted me some sensors for the engine when he didn't have to at all so I can't him really :grin:

To be honest with ours (Pete's and mine) because they're one offs I was expecting more problems than we actually had so I'm pretty chuffed really! :grin:

I think the carbed engines run pretty rough after putting the free flow air filter and straight through can on, but very good after setting up on the dyno. I guess the injected ones should be better in this respect?? Mine had a huge power loss between 6 and 8 thousand revs. How is yours??

I think the injection will sense the airflow increase and automatically increase the fueling so you probably wont see as big a difference after the power commander compared to a carbed R1.

I'm in two minds at the mo! My dear mummy (bless her) said she'll get me either the power commander of a quickshifter kit for chrimbo/birthday! :grin:Sounds good!! Mine still pops and bangs. :cool: :cool:

Can't decide!! :nugget:

I think the power commander will allow you to remap the whole rev range so you could get some benefits, but i think they will be minimal. Where it will be an advantage is if you decide on any future tuning, changing cams etc.

At high revs the valve is usually fully open as well. Would be very interesting to see some data - with/without EXUP valve fitment

I think I'll go with the power commander as with the quickshifter I'd need a shorter gear cable which would add to the overall cost. Plus the gear shifts aren't exactly slow at the minute! :grin:
