Which should I get for 2005 rocket III? will the pc v work on an 05?
What other mods should I do at the same time as the power commander.
 
From what I've read here, I don't think a PCV will work on an '05 - someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I'd say that to get the maximum benefit of a PCIII you'd want at least to look at exhaust and triple filters, and of course a good dyno. I'd also get a GIPro and remove secondaries. These would be the most cost effective add-ons. Then you can consider headers, blower...........and so it goes. :D
 
PCV will work on the '05 as well as the autotune if you desire. The mods you should do depend solely on your performance objectives. It would be easier to define your objectives then select mods because the exhaustive list of mods is extensive.
 
after lurking here for years I have a little money around $1000.00 and am trying to make sure I can still beat my brother after he supercharges his star warrior 1700 this winter. My plan was to use pc III or V whichever is better and will work with my bike and tripple K&N filters and gipro with atre then get it tuned on a dyno. is this the best use of $1000.00. I have the thors and cat delete with under tank K&N right now. Thank you for your help.

Absolutely on the right track with those mods. Let us know how you go.
 
I am also planing on removing the secondaries. What is the auto tune?

A dyno is a snapshot of your bikes performance characteristics and thus a tune on a dyno is the optimization of your bike when those conditions are present. In theory, autotune will bridge the gap in regards to changing ambient conditions and mitigate air and fuel etc... to maintain the "snapshot" performance you achieved at the dyno. The ACTUAL effectiveness of the autotune will most likely be debated as long as hp and tq are relevant. I have the pcv w/autotune installed on an '05 standard and am pleased. Then again its $240 and I'm quite sure I've spent more than that on a few items that were of lesser value.
 
Get the Pcv but I wouldn't bother with the autotune i was going to and the dyno tech talked me out of it he said save your money u don't need it

autotune relevance/effectiveness is heavily dictated by the average and extreme riding conditions various climates present. In Ohio for instance, I will frequently ride in conditions that range from 20f 50rh to 95f 90rh and the air fuel ratios are significantly different under those two extremes. The common saying here is if you don't like the weather just hang out 10 minutes and it will change significantly. In less variable climates I can appreciate the non-value of a device to alter the tune according to the ambient conditions. Lambda is also a concept I need to learn more about.
