I agree,the HD download is also "EPA" friendly,which equals CRAP. I know a lot of people like the PC,but I have personally seen these things go bad,to me they are equal junk. I wouldn't put one of those on a Honda,lol. I just tried to give the guy some options.

I don't know anything about the Xied, but I'll stand behind the night/day difference I experienced when I installed the PC on mine. I recommend to go with that, but do your research before buying anything.

Ahhhh this is all making a lot more sense now! Thanks everyone for all the info! So I read stuff all night on all the stuff you guys talked about and as of now I'm digging the PC! Now I still don't understand the difference between a closed loop and open loop and not sure if I'm going to be mad confused when dealing with 14.7.1 numbers that I don't get haha. I know those numbers deal with the AFR but haven't found a good place to read about it yet. Thanks again guys for the wisdom.

14.7:1 means 14.7 parts of air to 1 part of fuel that number is called stotriometric or how ever u spell it its the ideal afr for emmitions proformance ect.. It ur dont care about emmitions just proformance a lil richers better about 14.0:1. X14ied just alter the 02 sensors reading. The o2 sensors range from about .2 to .8 .2 being lean .8 being rich the computer will alter fuel injector puse width(how long the injectors open) to get the o2 sensors reading corect the x14ied makes the computer think its lean so it adds more fuel to see the o2 reading it likes its great for the price plenty for exhaust and ac but the pc is the best thing if u no ir gona do future mods

Thanks for the explanation man! I read a lot about the X14ied and loved it but after talking to the guys at PC I ended up going with the PC5... They said it is half the size of the PCIII. I got it from the website sberloff recommended and it wasn't too expensive. Looking forward to getting all this stuff put on this weekend!

So I went with the PC5 and it's supposed to be half the size as the PCIII... So hopefully it won't be as hard to get under the seat! Any advice in doing it???

I think that's a good move. I know I'm still happy with mine after about 3 years of use. I believe there is an auto dyno module you can get for the PCV if you want to spend the money. I never dyno'd mine, and haven't seen a reason to.

Mine came with pretty simple instructions, but it's one of those things that just barely fit. The wires had to be tucked away just right, and it was still a tight squeeze. If it's half the size, you should have no trouble. My only recommendation is to not lock in those zip ties until you've got it to fit without them first.

Another option is a bolt on fuel computer such as the Cobra Fi2000r 02 or the PowerPro.
