Ok so after this weekend I'll know more but so far .
First impression on my short ride in to work at 4:00am .
Throttle response is much more linear and acceleration is better .
Understand I live near LEO's barn and they are coming in around the time I take off to work
so I only had a few run ups. The bike pulls stronger from a stop and a quick glance at the speedo ( remember LEO)
showed possibly a few MPH ( 5 ?) better thru the first 2 gears somewhere around 7-8 k (remember LEO).Once on base all I could do was check the dash for MPG.
at 30 in second just under 3 grand 37 to 38 mpg. If I remember it used to be 34.5.
Background
Stock bike with Area P pipe and K&N filter. I was running a PCIII ( which will be for sale )with Jamie's fuel ecno map.I had done as Fred suggested and run power to the PCIII from the aux up front because there was a small stumble out of the gate in the morning and he attributed that the the PCIII ( it did help) . I have removed the PCIII and this morning out of the gate was very smooth with no issues.
understand I never pulled the flies and never felt the need to so that might give you a view on my perspective. This weekend (if the frickin wind ever stops) Mama is ready to go for a ride
and I'm wanting to see how 2 up , higher speed, longer runs and MPG turn out. Saturday looks better as far as wind 20 + but right now Sunday and Monday some predictions are 40 + so we'll see.
Dynotronics
Joe was very helpful ,easy to work ,with did as he said and offered his help in making changes down the road. Thanks Joe. I have no problem
recommending Dynotronics to anyone here. He will also tailor the map ( flies out ?) to your wants. I chose his "standard map " for now ,just seemed to suit my needs.

update ( disclaimer: Im not a techno-moto-expert I've just been riding since I was 16 and now I'm 56 )
Ok so we (Mama on back ) finally got out for more that a ride to work here is what I noticed:
on the flat heading toward the highway I rolled it up to 7 k and 10k in second and still I can't believe how smooth the run up is compared to stock.
got there in a flash and VERY linear . Out thru the canyon to South 14 and the twisties LEO was everywhere. so limited speed but a lot less shifting than normal.
Was able to roll it up thru the turn easier with Mama and with an even consistency no small jerk like before. I can't tell you why... but the bike runs smoother that before (see disclaimer) .I was paying attention to every little thing today and after this mod I give the connie a 15 % increase in ride-ability to what I thought was a great bike to start with.
I also noted the bike never got to temperature ( for me 1 bar over half) and found no environmental reasons for that
By the indications on the dash a slight increase in MPG also ( 2-4 mpg ?) I didn't bother calculating milage this ride because we hit a 30 mph tail wind going out and a 40 mph head wind coming back. The dash showed a 15 + loss of MPH coming back. So next time I'll check MPG.
Bump to Joe for the good job IMHO it was well worth it .Some might need a Dyno run for proof but for me ,at my age ,the seat dyno works fine.
Wind expected to increase so off to check out the breweries . By june 4 new ones this year in Albuquerque !!!!
P>S> the PCII is for sale
