Default RE: PCIII Question

I found mine running at 4% @ closed throttle. I reset it to reflect 0% and now I get very minimal popping on decel. It was not backfiring b4 the reset. Pwer commander said that it could happen and makes sense. I told him I want a custum map and he said if I dont do that I could try this:

Power commander recommended seeting 0 throttle position values from 2000 rpms to redline to -30 then -40 then -50 if this does not work go the other way +30 then +40 , +50 til decel pop stops.

or

I might try what Rhubarb did..

I emailed Jamie at FuelMoto with my decel popping issue just to see what he had to say. He recommended that I set 0% throttle from 1750 to 5000 RPM at 15. I did that today and I am unable to test these settings because of the heavy rain we are experiencing right now[:@]

I have asked this question before but have gotten mixed answers, so I thought I would try again. I plan on getting a PCIII in the future, but now is not the best time. The only issues I am having are the following:

Minor pops on decel
Sometimes when the RPMs are high, if I decel then hit the throttle I get a pop or backfire.

These things are irritating, but if they are not causing damage then I can live with it for a while. All the dealers I have spoken to have said it will not cause any damage. You guys seem to know a lot about this stuff, so I thought I would ask yet again.

thanks,

WARG

I am no expert but:
Is it fair to say you have the stage one download? I did not see you mention a new MAP or custom tune.
What im getting at here is if you do have a canned MAP it sounds like you need the SERT or PCIII to install a MAP perfect to your set up.
Im sure you already know this.

Check your plugs for lean. Its easy and will tell you if the popping is damaging.

What do I need to look for on the plugs?

I currently have the stage 1 download and I plan on getting the PCIII, but just wanted to wait a bit so I can save up the cash to buy the unit and have it dyno tuned at the same time.

Checked my plugs, mine look like they are somewhere between #19 and #23 (good to OK).

Does anyone know if adding a PCIII will affect my factory warranty. I still have 1 year left so I don't want to void it.
