Default Fuel Moto / Thundermax ?

Guys looking to get a Thundermax for my deluxe. Looking to see if anyone one out there that might have any inputs to this system, good or bad. And looking to find a good price on this thing too.

Thanks!

They had a rough run in the beginning but I've had mine for two years without one issue. Been through two sets of cams and a big bore upgrade and no retune. Love it.

I've had Thundermax and now PowerVision on all my bikes. I prefer my Thundermax.

I am having good results with the ThunderMax on my 2010 Ultra. If you are computer savvy life is easy.

I have a PCV from Fuel Moto. They have excellent customer service there. I had a little decel pop after my exhaust install. I got on the horn with Jamie and in about 5 minutes had it worked out and running like a champ.

Have installed thundermax auto-tune for 1 1/2 year now - in the meantime changend stock A/C to high flow and changed exhaust from stock to V&H bigshot staggered. Had nothing to change or do to the thundermax - system adapted = auto-tune

I have a tmax on my limited with Fuel Moto Ceramic headers, Fuel moto pushrods, 555 cams and fuel moto air intake and V&H monstuh rounds. I have had it like that for the past two years and no issues at all. I have a 04 road king with a HD down load V&H true duals, monstuh rounds and Heavy breather and get lot of decell pop and it runs good but not as good as the tmax keeps things in line. I am not wrench just a rider.
