Default Tell me why Dyno

Why do I have to have my Harley Dynoed in if I'll be running a ThunderMax auto tune?

You don't. I run a similar system, the DTT TCFI 2. No dyno needed. I guess if you want a print out of your HP/TQ curves you would need a dyno.

If you want a decent running bike...you don't.

If you want to maximize and fine tune to achieve the highest power output possible then you do.

It's up to you.

With the money I'm putting into this, I want it set up right. Just doesn't make sence to dyno it with an auto power pack. I'll be asking Harley shop when I take the bike. I looked into the difference between the 2 in 1 and tru-dual.....stats are about the same but tru-dual looks a hell of alot better. O2 sensors on ThunderMax might be an issue down the line. I'll have to do research on how long sensors last.

The whole reason behind the Thurdermax is a "autotune"

It's continously "dyno tuning" your bike. That's why you have the wideband O2 sensors.

You didn't pay $800 for a Tmax and then have the bike tuned.

What do you disagree with? Specifically...because what I posted was fact.

Harley says I need to Dyno tune it. I'm not sure that's why I'm asking. Auto tune means no adjustment to me but they say they need to check the system to make sure it is dailed in to fit what I will have on my machine. To the tune of 4hrs @ $75/hr.
