And that's EXACTLY why I'm looking at the T-Max w/Autotune.
I have this "thing" about spending money twice for the same thing.

Sorry for jumping in a softail thread (own a dyna) but I intalled the tmax with auto tune several weeks ago and Imo it was well worth the money now and in the long run. Bike runs as close to perfect as I would hope to get. Plus any upgrades at all I can remap myself. Just choose a map from the list that semi matches you components, download it and it takes care of the rest. Plus you can go in and fart around with the program and make adjustments if you like to tinker.

RE: Installed the Thundermax w/ auto tuner..
Looked at the tmax, but you mentioned the price. WTF. That's like 1000 bucks in Canada to add a few drops of gas in the right places. What am I missing here. Sure my March build FXSTC could be richer in a few rpms ranges but there has to be a better way to go about it. Why has nobody come up with new maps for the existing ecms? The original could be saved if needed . Lots of geeks out there that have the know how. Passwords be damned.

RE: Installed the Thundermax w/ auto tuner..
Thanks for the info Badpig. My mechanic friend is friends with Keith Hines and this is kind of a test he is doing with 3 bikes. I got the Fuel Pak at cost and he is putting it in free and seeing how it runs. Most here with the Fuel Pak say their bikes run great. Are you sure you installed it right? I figure for only $180 it wouldn't hurt to try. Hell my bike runs fine without any fuel management right now. I have a buddy that put all new exhaust pipes on his 2004 Fat Boy 3 years ago with no fuel management and his runs fine too.

But I am curious about howmuch did it did cost andand whereyou got yours from. And if it will run all the standard systems, like the 6th gear indicator, security system, speedo, and clock functions.
