Does anyone have a Power Commander installed and if so is it worht it? What kind of performance increase did you notice and how was your fuel milage? Any thoughts would be great.

I'm starting to wonder if it's even necessary now that turbocity tom has a fuel regulator that seems to be making a world of difference.
Maybe both would be great together?
I'm sure someone with chime in here...

I think the power commander and the fuel pressure regulator are targeted at two different aspects of performance. The PC would be very well suited to the modified engine. The PC is trying to allow for specfic changes,richer mid, leaner topend. The fuel pressure regulator would also help in those situations but is really targeted to the drivablity of the stock or mildly modified systems. Power commander = power mods. Fuel pressure regulator= drivablity. With the limited amount of performance equipment availble for the ST, The stock computer program profile works very well, it just needs to be bumped up a small amount. The PC makes much bigger changes to the fuel curve that are not required on the ST. Just my two cents.
Thanks Tom

See http://www.st-owners.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=126 for more.
I have been calling Dynojet at 1 to 3 week intervals asking for the Power Commander for the ST1300. They keep telling me it's on 'backorder'. Every time I press the issue and ask if they are just out of inventory or is there another issue? The person on the phone usually has to ask someone and comes back with the answer of 'we are still working on it, check back'.
My primary desire for a Power Commander on my ST1300 would be for better drivability. It sounds like Tom's product resolves that problem.
