I was surfing the forums yesterday, and found a post that someone had a power commander on their cannondale. Does power commander actually make one for our machines?? I would like to get one if they do.

In reality they do the same thing.

Power Commander Advantages:
Machine can be left at the dyno shop and tuned.
Tuning is on the fly, no down time.
Tuning done through entire rpm range and under load (real world conditions)
All dyno shops have the software to interface with the Power Commander

Power Commandeer Disadvantages:
Can not change timing or other settings, only change fuel.

D&M Kit Advantages:
Can tune more then just fuel.

D&M Kit Disadvantages:
Have to change and resend maps after every run, more down time between runs.
Need software loaded on laptop and that laptop needs to go with the machine to the dyno.
Have to assist Dyno operator with tuning or show him how to use the software.
Back dating computer and unlock codes for different ECU's.
