Power Commander - New toy for bike
Ok, so I know what you're thinking "What kind of ******* pimps out his bike to make it even faster?"
Rest assured...I'm not the only *******, and the question of me being an ******* is no question - I am, and we all already know it.
so, what is the power commander (PC)? - Taken from website...
The PC is a fuel injection and ignition timing (on some models) adjustment unit that plugs "inline" with the bikes' stock ECU. The PC uses original equipment style connectors so that no splicing or cutting of the harness is required. Most installations take less than 15 minutes, some as little as 5 minutes. Changes are made to the bikes fuel and ignition curves via the PC's onboard microprocessor. Using this technology we are able to offer a large area of adjustment without making any permanent changes to the bikes' ECU (electronic control unit). Removing the PC returns the bike to its previous stock condition. The Power Commander can be ordered preprogrammed with a your choice of several settings, based on the modifications to your bike. The unit also comes complete with software and cable link that allows you to change between different maps or make adjustments to a map file.

I also bought $250 worth of dyno tuning.
So, not only will I have a map based on my full exhaust and K&N filter...it will also be custom tuned to my specific engine by a pro
it's nuts, you can set the air/fuel at 500 RPM increments, and also at 2,5,10,20,40,60,80 and 100% throttle. Essentially, rather than rely on someone elses hacked map, I can get it fully pimped to my specific bike with my specific mods. oh yeah baby...oh yeah.
I'm also going to disable my "Emissions Controller" which retards the power in second and third gear for noise emission purposes. That'll give more power too.
So, essentially, with the exhaust, air filter and computer tuned, I'll be looking at around a 15-20HP gain at wide open throttle (WOT) for PEAK horsepower
considering the bike only comes with 70HP, this is almost a 30% increase in power TEHEHEHEHE (giggling like a schoolgirl).
so who want's to race?

no worries gents
and I'm not giving up cars for bikes -- project impreza will commence in late november/early december. I'll post my project plan when it's complete
FreddySi: As for doing something stupid - too late, I already bought a bike hehehehe

Rep Power: 315 hehehe although I'm an avid watcher of MXC and have been for quite some time...I originally heard that from "The Fishman". The d00d that does all the crazy ICE stuff, with moving parts and ish.
