Will do....They are going to call me when they start tuning, so I can get intimately familiar with the software.

ThunderMax is installed. Immediately I can tell a difference in starts, they are much quicker and smoother (no grunt like before), the smoothness of the idle (lowered to 800 rpm) and zero decel pop with the D&D Fatcat. I'm going on a longer ride later, so I'll report back. I must say impressive so far. I am also lucky to have had mine tuned by the individual who wrote the software

Theoretically, but then my bike would run like crap.

800 RPM? I was told not to go below 900 RPM for the idle as otherwise the oilpump doesn't go fast enough to build up enough pressure.
