[QUOTE="Sherman, post: 437171, member: 1809"] Sir, I would provide a counter example. I had the PCIII on my '04 and I felt no need for it. It made the engine seem buzzier, louder and more radical even with the Wally map. Most everyone sings the praises of the PCIII, but I didn't see an improvement. You might gain some power especially if you get some pipes, but stock is fast enough for me and I like the quiet. The mileage suffers with the PCIII, and it may(?) void your warranty. I sold mine. I did the spring mod, took all slack out of the cables, and made sure they were well lubed. I use a throttle rocker and that seems to provide better control at low RPMs. I think the miles help also as I have 18,000 miles now, but when newer (I bought it used at 8,000 miles) it was more jerky. It used to be a big problem, but not any more. Maybe I got better :rolleyes: . IMHO - Try the cheap fixes first and then move on to the PCIII if you must. Dogpile to follow. B) [/QUOTE]
