What's up

Anybody with feedback on the PCIII ?

worth getting?

Also, if you get cams and the ecu from Ducati, will the PC work with the new ecu?

Besides everything else I just love the fact that you can also now use the quickshifter with it.

What sort of money are the PCIIIs going for and wheres the best place to get them?

I noticed that there is a stock map available. Is there any advantage by using the PCIII on a stock bike?

I got mine for $275 plus tax from my local dealer and I also added the quick shifter for $125.As for running it on a stock bike it will most likley smooth if out quite a bit.I do remember seeing som pc111s on fleabay for&259.

On Craigslist (Orange county) there's someone selling for 269 with a free dyno run and he'll build maps for you if you change your setup. He'll ship with a custom map if you're not in the area.
I have no experience with them, just noticed while searching for ducati parts.

What about getting the race ecu *and* the PCIII?

I guess my question is this: When you get the cams, you get an updated ecu. What if you can get cams really cheap, but they don't come with the ecu - will the PCIII get the same results? -OR- is it better to get the new ECU *with* the PCIII?

Hopefully I'm more clear now...

The PCIII won't change the stock ECU settings below 25% throttle, so you pretty much have to get the performance ECU if you want to use the PCIII.

Also, the DP ECU from the cam kit has a little more ignition advance dialed in. I don't think you can alter ignition advance with just the PCIII USB EX (for the stock ECU). You will need the separate Ignition module which I think is only available for use with the PCIII USB Race.
