Thundermax rocks!
It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. Installed in 15 min, loaded map, lowered my idle and went riding while the auto tune adjusted my A/F. It is plug and play with no issues found. Software is user friendly.

I don't believe the 900 rpm for proper oil pressure idea. Can anyone trace this back to real hard documentation, or is this just anectdotal. I've also heard the alternator doesn't put out enough voltage at anything lower than 1k. So who sits idling long enough to run the battery dead? I had a 94 FXDL that idled about 750. Never any oil pressure issues w/that bike as long as I had it. Certainly the oil pump on my 2008 FXDF can do as well. I've got it idling at 800 rpm. Low as it would go.

Been considering the Thundermax. I've got a SERT and I've been tweaking the system, but w/out any real feedback from and exhaust gas analyzer and or dyno I think your somewhat limited. So I think the Thundermax system w/AutoTune based on wideband O2 sensors might be the ticket.

I would be interested in maybe seeing what an actual oil pressure gauge reads at 800, 900, and 1k rpms.

Lowering the idle is kind of like closing your eyes and kissing a fat chick, in the end you still kissed the fat chick and you bike sounds like a stock TC that needs a tune or is trying to be something it isn't.

Do what, I'm lost on that one.
