Curtiss at Southern V Twin is who I worked with. They have good reviews and I’m happy with their work.

With a dyno tune, you dont need add nothing element how v&f fuelpak or similar, the guy from dynotune work in the original ecm of the bike. At least here, it´s dont that way.

Did some research; turns out the Thundermax does replace the existing ECM so it’s a big hassle to replace. A friend who owns a bike shop filled me in on the capabilities and convinced me to keep it. I’ll take back and have my indy weld in the bungs and be up and running soon.

Some folks don't like T-Max, some folks do. I think both the OEM and ThunderMax have benefits.
Since you already have the T-Max, take the time to learn about it and I think you'll find that it's quite capable of doing anything you'd want to do. Installing those wide-band O2 sensors is one of the huge benefits T-Max has over the OEM ECU. IMHO.

Take the time to learn and study the system. Repeat---- Take the time to learn the system. Watch videos, read the tuning manual (available as a download from T-Max) and continue to work with it. If you're like me and are intrigued by this stuff, spending a quiet night watching tuning videos should come easy.

No disrespect, but all you read here is not gospel. It's so much more than a "do an auto-tune and forget it" tuner. Perfect it to YOUR bike, or have it dyno'd to perfect it to your bike. You'll be glad you did.

Post above is s good advise.
Also Max (forum member)runs a Thundermax on one of his bikes, on here or any other forum he posts on I've not seen anyone that knows more about them, hit him up if you have questions.
