I am not much of a writer and I am a tough nut to crack. I do not believe in gimmicks, air filters, and minor bolt on things because I know better. Other than big hardware, reflashing, and power adders I won't talk too much about power increases. So that I'm taking the time to write a bit about Pulsar should be a clue. I'll do it in bullet form.
-I bought this on a group buy. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have spent the money. It was still hard to part with $400 for it.
-Install is very quick and easy. You will need a 1/4" drive ratchet, 8 and 10mm sockets. A 10mm ratchet wrench is helpful for reinstall.
-I did not expect too much from something like this that does not actually reflash the PCM.
-It is pretty easy to use and make changes, and the instructions are good.
-After backing out of the driveway, the increased throttle sensitivity was very apparent. Almost too touchy maybe. Will take getting used to.
-It is more than just a glorified Pedal Commander...somehow or another this thing really is able to pull significantly harder all the way through the whole powerband. It must surely increase timing and it does specify 91 octane for the performance file. All I can say is for a naturally aspirated engine, it is amazeballs!
-I am disappointed in the MDS off setting. It does not really turn it off like I expected. I learned too late that all the Pulsar does is goose the engine ever so slightly after MDS kicks in to kick it back out. It can be felt and heard. That was a big disappointment to me, so I'm back to just using the steering wheel button to lock out MDS every time I start the engine or shift out of Drive.
-It is easy to correct for different size tires and gearing.
-I am pleased and I recommend, just don't expect anything from the MDS feature.
-The economy file makes it sluggish as you would expect. It's painful for me and I don't give a sh!t about economy or mpg so I'll never use it again. When my tank gets empty I fill it up. Rinse and repeat. Get on with important things in life instead of obsessing over mpg.
-I haven't tried the towing file yet.
