Just so that you know, typing higher numbers into the boxes without knowing what the exhaust gas readings are is like mixing a bathtub of angelfood cake batter by eye. Try to use a dyno proven tune from a trusted source that matches your bike mods as closely as possible. A "butt dyno" doesn't qualify. They can run fine and have good power under load, at wide open throttle, smooth decel, etc. but if the trim is off drastically right at an rpm/throttle position you choose to cruise at that day ... it defeats your purpose of just wanting to richen the mix while you wait for a PCV. Just don't go bumping up numbers willy-nilly or loading someones "tune-of-the-week" unless you trust them.
Raising or lowering trim numbers just to reduce something like deceleration popping, is not a very good measurement of how it is effecting other things at the same time. Was it achieved on a dyno with an exhaust gas analyzer? Or by running it up and down the street with a laptop plugged into it?
Don't take this personally, I just worry about regular joes like us being given that kind of access to something we either don't fully understand or don't have access to the tools necessary to measure the results of altering tiny parameters in a program originally engineered by specialists. And unknowingly loading a tune from someone who arrived at it by "lets see what this does" tinkering. Be careful.

and from what i have been told the pcIII isn't compatible so ill try to use the most suitable tune. Hopefully it will be ok and then when the Pcv comes out i will definatly take your advise and get it installed by a dyno specializing in powercomander.
