RE: computer question.....whats the deal?
The stock 02 sensors will not make any real performance adjustments, the sensors are narrow band and can not adjust as needed.
If all you are doing is AC and Pipes you may be able to get away without a tuner, but you will not be getting max performance out of the bike and it will still be very lean.
There are many opinions on tuners ect. Read the posts. Also American Iron Mag had an article end of last year about tuners and if you need them with just pipes and AC and if I remember 2 of the 4 bikes they dynoed were fine without and remap or tuner. I think the main options are 1. SERT is best, but may be over kill for many bikes and is most expensive (also SERT no longer made is being replaced by HD with another option) 2. PClll, buy it from Fuelmoto and get free MAP, 3. DFO or Fuel Pak ect for fuel only.

RE: computer question.....whats the deal?
On my bike, i ran theNess air filter and slip on mufflers with NO fuel mgmt for about 3000 miles or so.I never realized jut how poorly it was running until i bought a power commander. Before WOT the engine ticked and pinged a lot, now it doesn't. Throttle response went way up. It runs smoother and a little cooler. Oh BTW my chrome pipes yellowed due the lean mixture without fuel mgmt. If you just get pipes you may be able to skip a pcii or sert or whatever, but with that heavy breather you will definetely want fuel mgmt.

I certainly do not profess to be an expert, but I am pretty sure that if you open up both ends (AC and pipes), you will need something that enrichens the air fuel mix. I would check on-line to see if there is a map with your combo available from Dynojet, or contact fuel moto's Jamie to see if he has mapped a similar setup. If there is a map available, the PCIII should be fine, as you can get by without a dyno fine tune if you have the correct map. If not, the SERT and dyno time would probably be the answer, or a self-tuner as indicated above that changes out your 02 sensors. Enriching the mixture will have an added benefit of reducing the engine temp.
