Power Commander 3 USB

Hi! Today I just receive my new power commander 3 USB and instaled to the swing. Now the problem is wich map should I program the one say's honda silverwing stock exhaust and stock air filter or honda silverwing 600 european stock exhaust and stock air filter. The swing has the j costa in and the K&N air filter.
Thank's

Regards
Andy.

Andy,

I have the same PC and the European map is the one you should install. The stock map doesn't really do anything but the Euro map will give you better mpg's. If Bill (Honda-Silver) sees this hopefully he will chime in. You can also just keep track of your mpg's with both maps and see which is better but it seems that everyone likes the Euro better.

Thank' JeffR for the fast responce.
Do I will still have better horse power and performance with that maps. I know I should have it dyno but for now I just want to used it that way! And what do you mean about stock map won't do anything!

Andy.

There are 5 maps

M123-000 Zero map

All numbers are zero which means that it is the stock Honda mapping.

M123-001 Stock exhaust, Stock filter

I ran this for awhile and had horrible gas mileage

M123-501 European stock exhuast, stock filter

I ran this before I had a custom map made ... my gas MPG was much better. I would start first with this map first ... then you can experiment against others later.

M123-502
European Model-Mivv CE approved Slip On (db-killer installed), Stock Air Filter

I am not aware of anyone using this ... so I do not have any information.

M123-503
European Model-Mivv Racing Slip On, Stock Air Filter

I am not aware of anyone using this ... so I do not have any information.


With my custom map from Johnny Cheese, I picked up more horsepower. The map was geared primarily for MPG ... all of the decisions were for higher MPG.. The increased horsepower was a bonus.

I may go back to Johnny Cheese and have him map the 65-80 MPH ran for improved MPG. According to Johnny there was room for a lot of adjustment at the higher speeds.

Thank-you so much guy's about responding to my question now I know wich one to use for expirement.Very well explained! I like this forum. Everybody knows something about the swing GREAT!

Thank's again.
Andy.

So someone can actually program the Power Commander to make the Swing have better gas mileage at 70-85mph? If so, that's gonna be the next thing I get!

All the power commander does is change your fuel/air ratio.
You can program it to be lean in any band and increase fuel efficiency.

Remember... Lean running engines also run HOT. It may be set to run a bit rich at that RPM for a reason. Valve life comes to mind. All I'm saying is be careful, there might be long term trade-offs.
