Done doing research...opinions neaded please!
Narrowed it to two! Power Vision or Thunder Max! Sorry, I know it's been done to death, but just on the chance there are new people out there that have one or the other, I need your input! Before I drop this money, would like honest opinions from users like you! A little help please! Thank you!
BTW. If you don't already know...I am putting it on a '12 FB W/ the following: HD Stage #1 AC...Rinehart 2 into 1 exhaust! What do you think?

Call www.fuelmotousa.com and talk to Jamie @ Fuelmoto. Tell him what you are trying to do and trust what he tells you. But what yo need from hin and they will support it throughout. PERIOD

put it this way...pretty sure both are good units because they are 2 of the most talked about. whichever one that is chosen by that particular person is going to be the one they recommend because they bought it, it worked well, and they had no reason to switch to the other. i don't think you could go wrong either way, but i think the power vision gives you more information real time if that's what you are looking for. i have the power vision and think it does a great job, and i do like the different gauges you can customize it with so you can see whats going on. i really think you can't go wrong with either tho. one vote for fuelmoto with either choice though, as they offer lifetime map support that you just can't put a price on.
I got a powervision 2 after my 1000mi service, So far its a great tuner!
Given I havent done much tuning with it other than just doing a "stock improved" tune as I still have OEM pipes and A/C. I plan to take a little time to do a good auto tune session with it soon. But the features of the PV2 tuner is what won me over. you can auto tune, custom tune, download maps, change your tune right from the tuner on the fly (kinda, gotta shut it off and "reboot" for 10 seconds), then see engine diagnostics, read codes, and data log.

As for my experience, I have nothing but great things to say about the ThunderMax. Their support is fantastic as well, I have never had to wait for a response to my questions any longer than 24 hour's and most of the time with in an hour or 2...........
Never had any problems or issue's all my questions were simply (how to) questions..........
This is really a very simple system to use and as far as future mod's simply just load a new base map ride and auto tune.......
If you go with the ThunderMax get part #309-382, this is the newest version and what I am running on my Fatbob.
I got mine from Cyclesolutions for $674.99 w/free expedited shipping, call them for the best price that is what I did, great guy's as well, with fantastic customer service.........
Hope this help's, If it were me I would choose the TM all over again.......
If you have any more question's, give me a shout..........

Rinehart Exhaust Bungs..........
I'll do that! The pipe will be here Tuesday and the thought of ripping into my electrics scares me a little, but will have to do it regardless, either system I buy! They both have attributes! The bung sizes have me worried! Mine are small but don't know what size the Rineharts are! Guess I'll cross that bridge Tuesday! Thanks guys!
Just remember this, the Thundermax completely replaces your stock ECM.
The others do not, they run through your stock ECM.
Don't worry, it is very easy to install just need to make sure to give yourself plenty of time to do the task, do not hurry and take your time.
If you go with the Thundermax and have any question's during install LMK...
I would be more than willing to help, if in fact you need any......
Good luck,..........

Good to know about the Rinehart bungs! What did you do with the stock wiring for the O2 sensors! Leave it in place or remove it all! I'm sure it will be easier with the instructions that come with the unit! I will take you up on the advice and help...thanks for the offer! Am going to pull the stock system off tomorrow and order the T-Max from Fuel-Moto! It will give me time to put on the other foot board (right side)! CUL8R!
