Steve W, the “Power” units are completely adjustable to set wherever you want for your riding style. I bought mine to remove the lag you sometimes get if you are inadvertently in the wrong gear and looking to enter the freeway. It has no trouble in town…….
But, having said that, they are instantly adjustable, so if you are tied up in traffic, you simply dial them down.

I agree with Mike that the Monster tune is a better way to go, but the Power Commander gave me what I was primarily after, more cheaply, and with an easier install.
