hey was just checking out the bazzaz unit. i see it is self adjusting . Is this not better than a power commander. i have a pcIII but wonderin if there is any advantages over the bazzaz?

I would have to say that it is good yes but it comes with a price. To get the self adjusting feature you have to spend about the same amount as you would on a custom tune for a PCIII. Some of the guys rocking the 08zx10r's are picking up about 10 hp with just a slip and still rocking low 40 MPG. The good thing with the bazzaz is every upgrade retunes itself, but IMHO there is no replacement for what a knwledgable tuner can do to a PCIII, I guarantee they will squezze out the extra ponies the bazzaz might have missed.

Right now, it's uncertain if the quality consistency and reliability is there, but if it is it should be a nice unit as you can add traction control to it

The price tag is a definite detractor. The Bazzaz unit is about $339 and the Sensor needed for the self tuning is about $312. That is about twice the cost of the PCIII. Personally I want the Bazzaz unit. The unit without the sensor is about the same cost as the PCIII. There is a write up about the traction control module that you can also buy in this months Sport Rider.

Keep in mind that a custom tune on a dyno would be worth about the same as the sensor unit. And you'll only need to buy the sensor once. As opposed to getting a new dyno every time you change engine parts. I usually tell my customers to get everything they plan on doing all at once to avoid having to dyno or rejet multiple times. It means I don't get to make the $$$ on a couple of extra dyno's, but I can make that up because they'll come back for other services.

got mine for free but i just wanted the unit and the A/F self mapper so i didnt need a dyno!! works great!! i took mine to a friend at HMF and they didnt have to do a thing, it works great, just hit self tune go beat it up on the street, see the changes it wants and boom done! retail the bazzaz is more the PC3 but if u no someone, the unit will cost $290ish and the A/F computer with O2 bung will be about $280 plus tax if they make u pay.

so $290 is about the same as PC3 and $280 is gona be about the same as a custom dyno tune BUT u can cumstom tune everyday, different weather, hot, cold, rain, dry ect!! AND everytime you up grade a part

This really makes me feel better about the Bazzaz....

So what A/F ratio did you set yours to?

I was reading this months Sport Rider (Aug2008 pg 110) and it says that most are set from the factory to 14.7:1. It also says that ratio closer to 13:1 would be better for performance. Any thoughts on what ratio is good?
