The power commander is just something you use to add more power. Street wise, you do not need the commander. During cruise, the rpm will run within that 2,7K to 3.2K range. Here is where they spike the high a/f to somewhere around 17.1 a/f like the car you drive. This is perfect economy cruise mode. Still cool running in this ratio all day long. Think about it.
You have the best of both worlds if you remain stock with flies out. Reason being, you ride in a sustained state, the air has balanced out where the air does not know it is blowing past a fly or not. So, if you rode real slow through the throttle, you would act the subthrottle actuator or the stepper motor to follow your throttle hand.
Because the bike has that hidden torque behind the slower actuator feeding that air, you feel a more controlled throttle. If you remove the flies, you have a more instant event of the air moving into the engine. The faster the cause, the quicker the effect.
If you imagine how slow you can make air move, like the intake air sensor being sucked from the intake tube off the throttle body. Now, you visually slow the crank to an idle; visually rotate the throttle position sensor acting like a room light switch in rheostat mode. Imagine you rev the engine sitting on the side stand. Did not that engine take the fuel and air as fast as you could twist the throttle?
Then, if that fast a speed at the hand grip moved the engine to a crisp ride up the rpm range, what makes you think you need a commander if the bike can monitor the throttle speed you give it? Whenever you read about 'lag,' it is never mentioned once the flies are removed.
If there is a mention of air lag/lean, then are you not watching the faster air event taken place? You are about to move the rpm run up to the 17:1 area. Past that rpm range, then it is off to the even a/f dyno line across the rpm scale. I need to be really fuel lean to cause a lot of damage. I need to have a lot more air to become so lean the nose dives like a carb sucking more air than gas out of the jet tube. It's air drop sends the a/f past the scale and off the chart in the 20's? Street wise, I may be hitting those all the time. You set the TPS at WOT, there is your power commander feeding more fuel in an instant!
If you are stock, accelerate away [hard], yes, there will be moment that the scheduling of fuel will leave that cruise lean, begin to richen up on the throttle apply. If you power commander more fuel, you might over rich what is too rich to begin with. This bike is tuned just right for peak performance as that preset package [all in stock trim]. I have 8 thousand miles on my subless bike. Hammered during the day in many WOT applied conditions. I have heard knocking at low speeds. I have applied the throttle too many times where there is a slight fuel lag from cruise, where it is less than a second the lag was felt and the bike is on it's way in a big way.
I will tell you that the power commander is not needed with flies removed. There are a lot of PC-Less 14's with subs removed and no one is hurting engines that I know of. Especially mine! You will have engine knock if the heat is hot enough upon start up. And I must state that in that knock condition, you have to remember how you did it, because it happens rarely. Maybe if I ran premium with a higher octane, I might not hear that knock on start up to often. Cooler days does it knock? Think not if it hardly does it with the heat of the day.
Your 'defect' is nothing more than the speed of the subthrottle's open/ratio programming. The later models increased the sub speed opening, because in the beginning, the factory thought wise to control the power. Customer complaint about lag during passing ability can upset your timing and distance with a little bit more calculations needed. Without the subs, you narrow it down to hearing yourself talk to you and say, "That was over quick.' 'Since that car is still coming dis way and it's been minutes since I passed that car over a half hour ago is I'm in knee brass K corn husker country and can see for miles the cars are nothing now is pass it along!"

Hey!?!?! It's a dyno chart cheat-ear me out...
'5° of separation' might be an aim for a number your blueprints!

"I'd.........."
This is mine (Kent=me) and my brothers dyno run. I had the guy check my A/F cruising at 60-80mph too. I didn't get him to print it out.
