I'm using PCIII with stage 1 pipes and A/C. Absolutely no complaints, way better (and cooler) than stock! I'm still using the canned map from Fuelmoto. Waiting on change from slip-ons to full exhaust before I hit the Dyno.

Another Tmax owner here, and I like it just fine.
If you want full adjustability, then the Tmax, TTS Mastertune, and SE Race Tuner are pretty much your choices. Although the TTS and SE don't use auto tune IIRC.

Tmax.........although it was a hassle finding a serial to usb adapter that would work with Vista on my laptop

Never used the T-max, It would be my 3rd choice for tuning a bike because it uses Alpha N for ignition timing charts. In most circumstances it wouldn't be a issue but heavy loading can cause some issues. But for people not familiar with tuning it would be a toss up recomendation between the TTS and the Tmax. TCFI's are great but not nearly as plug and play as a TTS or Tmax.
My preferance is the TTS since it does so much and retains ION sensing for ignition timing. It does have a semi auto tune function but nothing like on the TTS or Dayona Twin Tech's TCFI's. I have experience with it running on my fathers bike and now mine as well. Stage 1 is a simple plug and play. Anything else and knowledge of tuning and computer software use is needed.
My second choice now is the DTT TCFI's. I ran a TCFII D and still have it just not installed at moment. It uses Manifold Absolute Pressure for igniton timing so heavy loads and light loads have there own timing. No ION sensing though.Then is similar to Tmax in is a Alpha N fuel chart. It is not a plug and play system at all. One needs to understand tuning and have a strong basic understanding of computer software use to utilize. It also doesn't monitor resistance of injectors or coil in fault codes. For big builds I don't believe anything out there now is better then the TCFI's.
Long story short why I am running the TTS instead of TCFI now is that I had a stuttering cut out on accelartion, very random and idled great. TCFI charts showed a severe lean out in the cut out areas. No codes since it didn't monitor injector resistance as the delphi unit does and I didn't find the broken wire in insulation to my rear injector untill OE unit reinstalled and code for rear injector open/low came up. Other then that is a fantastic ride and tune system.
