I have an 06 Raptor with a Big Gun Complete Race exhaust and a ModSquad K&N air intake kit. I want to get some more power out of the bike and was looking at several programmers, tunners, replacement ECU's.
I have gone through the motor and replaced the piston and the top end with better aftermarket parts while still conforming to stock standards.
JB Pistons, White Valves, EBC race clutch pack, Hinson Clutch basket, to name a few.
Are riding with out an programmer on it now? What kind of riding do u do? Where do u live? How far do you want to mod it? What terrain do u ride? All of these questions will help us to help you.
Desert Racing in California, Nevada, Arizona, Mexico. No programmer now. Right now just looking for some extra plug and play power with the mods done. Cam is a good idea but no time before the Vegas to Reno Race next month.
The power Commander 3 looks to be a good quick source for power, anyone else using this programmer? Likes and or dislikes???
You should be running a power commander with the exhaust and intake, with out it you are risking running way to lean and that's only leading to trouble and spending money on repairs
You can install a hotcam in a afternoons time. They are not that difficult. There is YouTube video that shows how. A power commander would be the way to go if your plans are to keep adding parts.
You need to get a fuel programmer before you ruin that brand new top end you threw in. That would be very first IMO. What compression piston did you go with? Next would be a cam for sure. After that I would go with a P&P. How much are you looking to spend?
You better get a controller on there asap before your next race or you'll be rebuilding your motor soon. A hc 2 or 3 will help you with the desert racing. If your looking for more top end then the hc3 with 15t front sprocket will give you what you want. If your looking for more tq and mid to top punch then the hc 2 with the stock gearing will do nicely. Pc. 3 or 5 will work good for you
Thanks guys for all the good info. I think I will go will the power commander 3. I know that with the 15/37 gear that we ran a few years ago we could hit 90mph in 5th but in the low torque band, but could not get it any higher, just not enough get up and go. Hopefully this will help with that little extra kick we need.
A cam sounds great for next season.
