I actually posted this in another thread but hoped this would find some quicker reponces but here goes...

From dealing with headers,cams etc.with the GM crowd with LS1's 2's etc. The PCM's have the ability to adjust to small differences on "flow" . Just today I installed a K&N filter and a MJS mid pipe on my 08 R6 that did away with the cat of course. When I first started it it had some hesitation that the more that it ran the better it got. I have not had a chance to ride it as I just spot welded it in to make sure that all aligned right. (I did this off the bike at work today and nailed it for a perfect fit LOL) So tommorow I will finish the welds and take it for a ride. Does anyone have specific info on a combo such as this as will the PCM adjust the AF mix? I would perfer personal experience please. Thanks

I mean no disrespect promise but I do think they adjust(as the first time I started my bike after the filter and no cat midpipe) throttle responce has gotten better and better.
The first time I started it it hesitated etc.but after several runs to full op. temps it runs like a a stocker as far as that goes. My real question is it worth the money for an add on computer to make it perfect? Thanks for the help guys.

Best way to get the most out of bikes exhaust flow/air flow upgrades is to tune it with some sort of tuner, ie powercommander etc. For some reason
people tend to not want to do this, why I don't know, but it really helps smooth throttle response, and usually add hp's in the upper rpm's.
To answer your question: No, it usually won't adjust enough to get the most out of upgrade!
