Thundermax
Took my bike into a local custom shop to have 16" apes and new cables installed last week. While I was there, I got to talking to the owner and he suggested installing a Thundermax to get better performance, more HP, etc. I'm having him do it even though I already have the SERT. If anyone has the Thundermax, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks.

You should re-post this in the engine thread and/or the tuning device thread. You'll get more responses. Just my opinion, I wouldn't spend the $$$ on a TMAX if you already have a SERT.

the thundermax will replace the sert if you really have one. if it is just a download for your ecm it is not sert unless you have the module for sert. I have the thundermax and love it as i dont have to do any more dyno tunes and it will adjust for all kids of changes from wind to weather to altitude to fuel to passenger.

+1 Tmax
I got my ThunderMax because I did not want to keep spending $$$ for dyno time after each Mod. I had SERT before.
Now with 103 build in progress TMax will take care of that, and run well- no dyno. And, my Indy likes them and sell them at his shop.
Ride Safe.

I Installed the T-Max with Auto Tune when I put my RSD's on...
IMO a big improvement...
I like the fact that you plug it in... make a few adjustments and head on down the road..
I'm sure you will be happy with the switch!

I got mine used for 450. i did mods and would have to pay for another dyno tune. all those other fuel systems will be close but not exact. even with a dyno tune my PCIII was on at a certain temp and altitude and time of year. With Thundermax it is always on.

I just ordered mine w/AutoTune. When you say a couple of adjustments, what do you mean exactly??? Is it difficult to adjust or does the base map get it close enough to auto-tune. My setup should be fairly standard Stock 2008 FXSTC with V&H BSS, B&N Filter Kit, what do you think??

Basically you just need to pick and load the base map....
quick and easy there are a few other things you can mess with... if you want...
I bought it thinking I would dive into it and tinker with my A/F ratio....etc... but I just installed it and have not messed with it since.... no need to !!!
