Default 2007 Nightster Performance upgrade

I have a 2007 FI Nightster, I want to install SE exhaust and SE air filter kit. What aftermarket plug and play controller can I use to reprogram the ECM?

MJS- were you the one who went the Fuel Pak route and hated it before going to Thundermax? I've got the Pak on the way and am not liking what I've been hearing about it.

Nope, I had the PCIII. My Dad has or had the Fuel Pak on one of his wife's bikes and he seemed to like it. Hopefully it works out for you. If it doesn't, I'll tell you straight up that I literally smiled with joy the SECOND my bike fired up with the TMax.

I had the PCIII and got rid of it for the ThunderMax w/Autotune. Best money I've spent!

I really like the Auto Tune feature of the The T-Max.... If I didn't work at a dealership and get a discount, I probably would have gone that way... But I must say that my bike with the SERT is dialed in like no other.... Of course... With 8 hours of dyno time... It damn well better be!!! [8D]

I had the Fuelpak on my bike which ran like crap with it. If it does you're SOL. I switched to the PCIII and some dyno time and am now a very satisfied DynoJet customer.

Just posted my ThunderMax for sale in parts for sale section,if anyone is looking to get one for less than market price, plus it is all ready to go, no programing as long as one has pipes/open air cleaner.
