Also look into the Revolution Performance EMS.....I just installed one on my SG and I'm very pleased with the results. Plus you keep your HD ECM, there's no dyno tuning needed and you don't have to deal with maps.

+1 on the ems, but it depends on year of your bike, no ems for '10 and up at this time

I had the Thundermax installed by an independant mechanic about 6 weeks ago. Cost was $1000 including installation with a follow-up check after 1000 miles. Cant say enough about this being money well spent. I only have an aftermarket exhaust and an Arlen Ness air cleaner but the indy tells me that this will auto tune with anything else I add or change down the road.
I bought the 08 Ultra used with the exhaust and a Screaming Eagle air cleaner already installed. The bike had very poor throttle response,hesitation and an inconsistent idle. Along with that my inner thighs were scorched regularly and the popping through the exhaust on deceleration was annoying. The Thundermax took care of all of those issues. The bike is much snappier,pulls hard through every gear and runs much cooler. On top of all that, you dont need to bother with getting your bike dyno-ed. The indy plugged in his laptop and checked all the values. The tuner was doing exactly what is was supposed to do and the values confirmed the bike was running as well as it could be.

I had the Tmax installed about 6 months ago and I am very happy with its performance. Bike runs great without having to spend the money for a tune up. Additionally, I will eventually do the cams and once again I will not need the tune up. Just change the maps and it will then auto tune. It is expensive up front but I think it is worth in the long run.

Just installed the Tmax last week to replace a faulty power commander V. I'm sure that the thundermax is still not completely self tuned and all I can say is WOW, my bike never ran like this with the PC V even after two different dyno tunes by different tuners . I wish I had done this in the first place.The difference throttle response and smoothness of acceleration is astounding! Well worth the money for me

Thundermax and you will never go back ! I installed one after my Stock ECM went bad. I had a Power Commander V. With the Thundermax my bike has never ran as well as it does now. smooth acceleration, no decal pop, smooth idle, ect. I have SE 255 cams, Pro pipe chrome and SE air cleaner and my bike runs better than a brand new one.
