I'm looking forward to hooking up the PV3 this weekend and checking out what we can change

Keep us informed. Nothing wrong with mine, but curious to see what can be done.

Toddacimer, will the PV3 save your stock tune so you can go back to it? I need to look into this deeper.

I installed the PV3 a couple weeks ago and have no complaints. The DynoJet tune changed the shift pattern to be more aggressive, but not as much as sport mode. It also increased max RPM by 300 to 8300, but I rarely go there. And it looks to my casual eye that it leaned out the fuel/air ratio slightly. You can easily compare the stock and tune files in the free Power Core software. You can also change all these settings on your computer if you wish, load it into the PV3, and reflash (takes 5 minutes--make sure your battery is fully charged). Mine seems to start better and idle smoother and run a little peppier, all good since I'm about 350# heavier than stock. Hard to say if it provides more HP and torque without reflashing and racing myself. By the way, the OBD port is underneath the middle seat. I started looking under the driver seat and pulled the storage bin and caused extra work.
I look forward to hearing more about this tune from those experienced with fuel/air tuning.

Not ot meaning to start a drama fest like is going on right now on Facebook...
One tuner is claiming to double HP and torque at 2500 rpm and 5-15% on top end.
Double at 2500 rpm? I would be happy with 25% at 2500 rpm .
AZRocks, what does your midrange feel like tuned?

"double HP and torque at 2500 rpm" not happening with a tune and not even remotely close to that, 5-10% yes. Pretty sure several guys selling tunes don't even have a dyno.

I have the PV3 and tune from Zachary Morris. No I don’t dyno nor will I but I will tell you I feel a huge difference low end and if I had to put a # on it I’d say 25-30% better. And soon as I have time to data log and send to him he will fine tune it and says I will get more. My numbers may be off but I’m telling you that’s what it feels like and that’s what matters to me. Well worth the money and the service has been top notch for me. I actually have a buddy driving over to meet him tomorrow to pick up some parts we bought from him for both of our Pioneers and was too expensive to ship.

Thats a good report then! I was very interested in his tunes but not his way of communicating. I know i can be an asshole at times so i was seriously trying to mind my mannera, just wanted to know how he quantified his numbers other than "wheelies on pump gas".
How is the tune in Low range? What do you feel changed the most with his tune? High range? Both?

Yes until you talk about buying or do buy he’s a little rough, think he feels like people are questioning his work when they ask questions. I have 30% portals so I only use low range when I really bad stuff. High range now is like low range used to be. It reacts so much quicker and stronger now in every situation I’ve had it in ad so far I haven’t found anything I can’t spin the tires in. She the tires get clogged up the reverse shifting is awesome to give you wheel speed to clean them out. I have 32” tires now and I did all this to prepare for 35” tires that I will have on this weekend. Can’t ride since I have the TCP radiator setup to change but hope to ride next week and will report with 35’s

Yeah I get it, wasn’t saying you shouldn’t question but like another guy here told me “I’ve never met a good tuner who didn’t think his sh!t didn’t stink”. So I just ignore the way he talks to other people but to be honest he has been great with me since the beginning. Him and his brother answered every question I had before I bought. Much more than I can say for Silber who I also bought a tune from

To me it feels like it has more grunt at low-mid RPM. It just feels to be a more responsive motor with this tune, even taking into account the later up shifts. I download GPS Race Timer app to try some 0-40 runs stock/tune comparisons, but haven't got to it yet. Also heading up north soon to the normal stomping grounds to see how it runs. Forgot to mention the tune also advances the timing a couple degrees but sounds good, no knock, though I am often running some premium in it because that's what I feed to the F-150 Ecoboost tune. Time will tell as more P1Kers try this out.

No Cook's or tuners will share there secret recipe!
I will leak a little he is modding the file with other software he is using the Vision to load his moded file I could leak a little more but I don't want him to shoot me. LOL
Nobody can tune a X4 yet. They can 😀 you are not going to get the same results that they are getting, if you just buy a Vision 3 and change the available tables. 😀😀😀
He called me at 11:00 Pm last night on his way home he said they are swapped and don't reach around.
Hopefully this helps explain a little.

X2. Zach flashed my PCM, it worked much better than expected. I have now sent him bike to get the head ported, milled, and new can installed. He actually picked it up on the way back from dropping off those c-fab arms. Really good dude. I’m looking forward to getting mine back & seeing how well she does with beast mode.
With all this extra power, who is going to be the first to add bigger brakes?
