Direct link is far more dynamic, but requires careful tuning on a dyno to prevent serious damage to your motor. It will
allow a good tuner to get your bike performing at it's peak performance.


The PC, TFI, and others like it is a piggy back box that can only add fuel. It cannot do anything to reduce the fuel that
your ECM is supplying. However it can be tweaked at home in your garage without too much fear, however you will not
get the most out of your motor with it, unless you are very very very lucky.

If you have a tuning shop with a good dyno operator (hopefully familiar with Direct Link) and the cash to do it I'd
seriously recommend going that route.

I recommend the DL as well.

While DB is correct about the TFI... you can remove fuel with the PCIII.

Yup...No Comparison....Direct link is by far more powerful and a better program all around. It also allows for A/F resets, TPS resets...

I tried the PCIII on my XB with problems and mixed results. If you purchase one of the more popular mufflers, American Sport Bike sells maps that are dyno designed and street tested for those mufflers and are ready to be downloaded immediately. He has already done all the work.
