I read an article in Cycle World about the Cobra PowrPro tuner available for HD and some Metrics, and it seemed pretty promising. Similar to PCV + Autotune, except it performs all calculations on the fly and does not need a base map. It got a pretty good review by CW, and looks like possibly a cheaper and/or better setup than a PCV + Autotune. So I sent an email to Cobra USA:
Hello,
I recently read about the new Fi2000 PowrPro in CycleWorld and was very interested. I would like to add a controller like the PCV w/autotune but the cost is high and it is not an all-in-one solution like the PowerPro. Do you plan on releasing the Fi2000 PowrPro for Victory Cross Country / Cross Roads series of bikes?
Response from Cobra:
We are working on the Pro Tuners for the Victory motorcycles now and they should be available very soon. I do not have a release date at this time. Thanks for asking Cobra, ride safe.

Good point. I should have said "How soon is very soon?"
I was wondering about cost too.

It might be hard to pass on proven VFCIII for under $300 and pay twice as much for this snake (Cobra) ; but never say never.

I was pretty surprised how fast they got back to me, so hopefully very soon is very soon!
I've come to the conclusion that I need a controller since my Stage 1 map + performance filter + loud baffle D&D's have been popping pretty badly since I got them. My friend's XCT is set up the same way and we can identically pop through the gears. First it didn't bother me much but now it is really starting to annoy me. Plus it probably scares the crap out of drivers around me too.
In the past I've had great experience with PCIIIs on other bikes and was thinking about adding a PCV w/ auto tune, but its so darn expensive. Hopefully this will be a less expensive option with similar results.
