The answer is yes it should be adjusted but I am not sure what, mine is still pinging a bit at near and full throttle. I have my 10K coming up and the Indy that does the work said he will adjust the map at that point. I honestly don't use full throttle very often so i can wait.

Upgraded my cams and added the Thundermax system. I have a 2011 Street Glide 103. Very good improvement with smooth ride and a lot more torque.

Queston and I am not sure what it is called. Before the install, when you throttle forward to adjust for heat green light blinks. After this installation that option no longer works. Not that I ever used it. Does the TMax eliminate this option?

Yes. The TMax eliminates the ETIMS function

Just follow the install instructions carefully. And don't forget to pull the ECM fuse before you start in on it.
Make sure you have the latest firmware and software.
With only 5K on the sensors they still should be good, so hold on to them.

Default Thundermax installed!!!

well i did it! i just got installed on my 2015 triglide. everything went really well. i got lucky when it came to the 12mm stock o2 sensor,s i didn,t have to take the exhaust apart to get them out. i did take my time routing the wide-band sensor wire,s . i did use extra zip-ties also. i got my laptop next to the bike and watched it live running on the screen. i do understand most but i have a question for anyone that can answer it. i am at the point where i have to ride the bike for 30min or more then come back to the pole barn and use the new setting of the auot-tune. how do i take that run in auto-tune and make it into a custom map? to let the bike run on that tune? thanks all and have a safe riding season.

I may be a bit fuzzy on this because it's been a few years since I did my installation, but what Zippers recommended to me was to take several 30 mile (minimum) rides. After about 300 miles it would then be the time to do an autotune. Just one 30 mile ride would not generate enough data. You can also look in the TMCC area of the software and it will tell you the progress you're making.
Maybe it's different from my 07, but read the tuning manual and see if it says the same thing.
