    There are really only two options, Power Commander V anf Cobra PowerPro. Opinions vary so do a search here on the forum. You should consider an ignition module as well. Ultimately, I will have the Power Commander V with the Autotune and ignition modules.

      The Cobra unit is plug and play.  Simple, stratightforward, but you have to settle for what it does (I hear it does pretty darn good).  As you mod the bike, the PowerAPro will adapt automatically.  You just can't tell it what to adapt to. 

      If you like to tweak and tune and try different things, the PCV is what you want.  You can just get it tuned and leave it alone, but you can also tweak the tables using software you download and a USB connection. 

      I have added the Autotune to my PCV so I can tune the air-to-fuel ratio (A/F) and make it run the way I want her to.  You if you have the Autotune, it will automatically re-tune when you to whatever A/F you have it set for when you make mods. 

      If you don't like messin', just get the PowerPro.  If you like to mess, are a bit computer savvy, and aren't afraid to take responsibility for the tune of the engine. get a PCV and Autotune.

      I have the 120ci kit, port and polished heads and exhaust manifold, performance cam, BAK, V&H 2-1 and the Cobra Power Pro tuner.  so far I love it, the bike seems to be running a bit rich but I should be able to tune that out, I have the Gen 2 tuner.  I would really like to get a PCV with Autotune so I could compare the two with my build.

      Probably AT-200. Otherwise, you'll need to cut into both pipes.

      t84a is right.  Most of us Raider riders are using the single channel AT-200.  The wide-range O2 sensor is located where it measures a blended exhaust so the Autotune/PCV adjusts both cylinders at the same time.  That isn't optimum for engine performance, but works fine for most street use (and costs less too).

      I would recommend the CobraFi2000 tuner.  It is plug and play as TRaider states and optimizes the air fuel ratio something like 80 times per second thought the  full throttle range.  Noticeable difference and will automatically optimize regardless of setup.  It is like having a full time dynojet. ;)

      I've got the Cobra PP and is what I need for my mods.  BAK and pipes.  I think you would want the PCV when you go past BAK and pipes to get the most from the more exotic mods.  There is a thread on the V2 PP where the adjustment types were detailed.

      I couldn't have said it better myself.
      Also with the PCV you can get free maps here on the site that might work for your setup.  If money is tight wait on the autotune and try a few maps first.

      Does the Raider use the Dual Channel or Single Channel Auto tune for PCV?  And would $529.95 be a good price for both the PCV and Single Channel Auto Tune in a combo deal?  Both brand new.
