PC3 on stock '14
Just saw this on Motorcycle Daily. Shows affect of the PC3 (with a base map) on a otherwise stock 14. Pretty impressive gains.
"Our initial dyno run was made with the ZX-14 in almost stock form (we say 'almost' because we were running with Torco's T-4SR 10W40 Synthetic Oil). In this condition, the ZX-14 produced an incredible 168.94hp and 102.85 lb-ft of torque at the wheels - which goes a long way toward explaining the 9-second potential of the stock bike!
Once the bodywork was removed, installing the Power Commander was a snap, requiring us to disconnect and reconnect two electrical plugs. We mounted the PC unit itself next to the left-side ram-air duct as Dynojet recommends, making it easily accessible by merely removing the three small hex screws that hold the duct's cover in place. The Power Commander came pre-loaded with the correct map for a stock ZX-14, but we confirmed this by hooking the included cable and re-loading the same map (which we had downloaded from Dynojet's website).
With the Power Commander operating, and using the same Dynojet basemap available to every customer, the ZX-14 immediately jumped to 175.35hp and 105.08 lb-ft of torque, a gain of 6.42hp and 2.23 lb-ft. From 3000rpm (where we started the run) to 9000rpm, we saw gains of 2-4hp and 2-3 lb-ft, and above 9000rpm as much as 8hp was gained over the stock mapping. As the dyno graph shows, the Power Commander increased horsepower consistently throughout the entire rpm range, with the new power curve following that of the stock bike quite accurately, just a bit higher."

I also think the power increase is from more miles being put on the bike....NOT the pc3.

I was perfectly happy with the factory settings and no PC before I swapped to a real exhaust.

Gary dont be so sure. The ZX-14 is definately rich up top. I got 5 horsepower and a little bit of torque on my bike with re-map on the stock exhaust..
