Do a search for terminal velocity II, you will find numerous posts on the subject.

I guess it's not, the only thing he did was a cam, se 203 I think, slip-ons and the "terry", he is not very mechanically inclined and had the work done by a local indy shop, I'll try to find out more info, I'll talk to him next week but I do know he loves it and has had no issues whatsoever

"Alpha N" means that it's a TPS (throttle position sensor) based system rather then a MAP sensor based system. This type of sytem usually leaves a bit to be desired compared to a MAP based sysem that monitors load for fuel and spark rather then just how far the throttle is open. However, for very radical cams, where there is not much vacuum, alpha N systems work well for track use, but streetability suffers because of that and the cam.

I have one on my 01 Ultra, 95 inch, SE cams, high flow injecters, SE air filter, and V&H true duels with
B&E modified mufflers. Bike runs great, with no issues.
By the way, I have a brand new TVII still in the box, that I bought for my Uncle.
He sold his bike, so now I haven't any use for it. I'll take 275.00 for it and include shipping.

I put one on my 07 Ultra last month and have about 400 miles on it. I think it is great! Not the easiest install but I like not having to constantly do a dyno every time I add something to the bike.

Right now my setup is K&N High Flow A/C, TVII, and stock exhaust. Sitting under my Christmas Tree is a set of Rinehart 2 into 1 pipes. C'mon Christmas!

I posted on the install and first 100 miles or so about 2-3 weeks ago, some good stuff this link.

Good luck!

Read the post and looks like most like the setup...wonderin why there hasnt been much ink in the mags on this unit?? wonder how the setup will do on a bb 95" with higher compression....saw someone stated that it took 25-30 miles for it to adjust ?? and someone said there was some pinging when they cracked the throttle open? doesnt take long to do damage on hi compression..........Im buildin a 95" w/ se pro heads and andrews 37g cams- compression will be in neighborhood of 9.8-1

Um, it's like this, if you scratch my back I'll scratch yours. Unless you are an advertiser in a magazine it is difficult to get good, if any press. Their big advertisers will never get bad press. Even many forums will delete your post if it even hints negatively about one of their advertisers, follow the money trail.

What I really don't understand is why S&S's, a big advertiser,VFI engine management system never gets any coverage, magazines or forums. I use it on my turbo bike.
