I'm very curious to hear your feedback. I've finally got mine dialed in using TTS but I know it can be improved.

I had the ThunderMax with Autotune on my previous two bikes; first thing I did when I got the Night Train is put the ThunderMax with Autotune on it. System works extremely, extremely well; customer service is great. I called Zippers Performance and they walked me through the entire setup; told them what I have and they gave me the map number. Best thing about the ThunderMax is that the more you ride, the better the bike gets. I also like the fact that if you make any mods, you don't have to dyno the bike - just put in a new map and ride.

Don't laugh,but I got the dealer download and xied's.After I bought the bike I couldn't afford a good tuner last year.I'll call this a $250 lesson well learned.I decided against the Harley super tuner because of having to dyno every time you change something.Also it would still be lean.A buddy has the super tuner on his Fat Bob and doesn't care for it.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but how do you like those Andrews cams? I've been looking at them and Wood's TW6-6 and also get the TTS.
