i don't know, i only went there the first time this past weekend.  i'd prefer something a little closer to DC though.

Does Battley tune power commanders?  I asked several years back and they did not. Things could easily have changed since then.  Somehow I feel I have had this conversation before....

he'll prefer to sell and tune a Techalusion or whatever it is called module, but I have heard of Chris doing PCIII's in the past after hemming and hawwing and conversation time with said persons...usually because people aren't willing to pay for 2-3 hours of Dyno time and he does this to head it off at the pass....I don't think he starts with a canned map and adjusts it like some do, I think he does it as a whole process to build a complete map from scratch, hence the amount of time he has chanrged in the past...

Are there any real differences between how a Techlusion works and how a PCIII/PCIV work?  Are these basically the same technology from different vendors or is there a real difference in how they do their thing?

I honestly can't answer that for sure...I think the box/system they used to sell had physical knobs or  screws to adjust things on the fly like air/fuel trim and timing retard (for changing elevations and adjustments for variances otherwise) after the initial base set-up was done unlike a PCIII and PC IV which you need a laptop to change things...and lets face it..generally speaking...how many people ride with a laptop??? (aside from commuting with your work stuff)

I guess I never thought about elevation affecting EFI engines.. I know it affects carbed engines bad.

it can depending on the allowance of variation and auto adjustment parameters set in the stock ECU/ECM of a bike.

Does anyone here have a techlusion on a 1000DS engine? 

I guess I'll have to google it.  A PC or similar has been on my "maybe this winter" list for the past couple of years.  Maybe this is the year I actually do it.
