OH YEA! Even with the base MAP you can feel the A/T tuning the MAP as you ride for around the first 50 miles. Huge difference in the ridability of the bike. After around 100 miles you hook up the PCV to your computer and download the trims so the PCV can tune faster. If you want to spend the money you can have a tuner Dyno the bike and make a MAP just for your bike also. But so far the factory MAP makes my bike run just fine!
One more question. The guy I bought the bike from said the pipes are Mad Dog's. Looking through the tuning maps for the PC-V, I don't see those pipes listed. Do I have to have a map installed in the PC with the auto tuner since theres nothing for my pipes. Or, can I just start with nothing and let the auto tuner do its thing?

Yep. What Mitch said. Remember, the A/T unit only tunes the fuel air ratios to the MAP you have installed. So as you are riding, The A/T is making 262 adjustments per second. Again, if you really want a MAP exactly for your bike, you will need a Dyno tuner to make a MAP for your specific bike. Clear as mud?
So, when I place the order for the PC-5 with the auto tune module, should I tell them it is for the 2009 R3 Classic even though my bike is the 2008 model?
I told Dynojet the truth that my Rocket is an '06 and using PCV; they had no problem with it. But if you purchase off the website it will direct you to the PC3.
