I thought the T-Max was self tunning, so why would you need a tune??

All this proves is that anyone you ask will have an "opinion" and we know what those are "like". Ask some PCIII users or some experienced tuners and they will tell you not to waste your money on the T-Max or the Fuelpak. Ask many of us Fuelpak users and we will tell you, depending on what you want/need for your bike (i.e. stage 2 or engine work), not to waste money on the others. A lot of our bikes run great with any one of these options. And, if there was only 1 that works, everyone would have it and the others would be out of business. Right now, the Night Rider IED users are laughing at all of us for wasting our money. Depending on what you need or want, there is no specific correct solution and probably never will be.

if you want to talk about pissing away money the next time you go out for some beers look down in the urinal and you will see your money floating down the drain.
LOL - I can buy a lot of beers with that $600 I didn't spend on a T-max or a SERT and Dyno-tune.

This comment is not directed at anybody in particular, but I bet a lot of us with PCIII's, TMAX, SERT, Fuel Pak's etc think our bike is running great when it really may not be. I don't hear any pops on decel, and my bike will go as fast as the brakes can hope to keep up with my Big Radius and SE A/C K&N. Just saying I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of our bikes possibly mine included are running at about 85% of what they could be in the hands of a Dr. Dyno or some such expert.

You are probably close to being right. There really is no substitute for dyno-tuning a bike. However, if 85% of optimum is good enough to keep things running good and not hurting the bike, I'm fine with that. I'm planning on getting mine dyno-checked, at least, as soon as I find a dealer running a dyno-day or something, just to see where I'm at.

$225 for my PCIII and $100 for a dyno is still a hell of a lot less than $800
