power question
I had a 2001 Chevy p/u with a V8. I bought a computer programer for $315. It removed all of the factory settings and installed new ones. It turned that truck into a tire smoker. Top end went from 98 mph to 129 mph. The best part was I got better gas mileage. Can the same thing be done with a Nomad?

power question
Oldbiker from all the thousands of threads I have read on here, I think that answer is no. i do not know of any power programmers that you speak of for bikes. Maybe somebody is hiding it? You could slap a turbo on the nad I have seen those mods done.

power question
From power commander-
How much additional power will it give my motorcycle? There are many variables to each application. The Power Commander allows for tuning to the perfect air/fuel ratio will ensure that the engine can produce the maximum possible horsepower for that given combination. Tuning with Power Commander Base Map - The Power Commander is supplied with a given (base) map stored in the microprocessor. This (base map) is typically a map that has been developed to provide an improvement for most combinations matching the map description (i.e. stock bike or performance exhaust and air filter). In general we have found that a typical stock bike has areas in the fuel curve that are far from optimal for drive-ability and performance. We could say that they are typically 70% optimized in stock condition and 60% - 65% with minor performance modifications. After installation of the Power Commander with the base map, we would expect to see 85% - 95% optimization. Power Commander Alternate Maps - Each Power Commander is supplied with a number of alternate maps on a CD-ROM and all the maps are available for download on our web site. |

The PCIII accomplishes a similar objective, as it can be custom mapped for air:fuel ratio's in all gears thru various degrees of acceleration.

But still expect to lose 10 - 15 % mileage! Power up - mileage down.
