Default thundermax is on!!!

got the rinehart td's and the thundermax on. im still learning the system, so im reserving judgement, but i like what ive heard so far. my computer crashed right in the middle of the iac-auto idle adjustment. i had to shut it off and start over again. im a little worried that i dont have the right settings for idle. it seems to run very lean at idle and is extremely hot. i can tell that it is sorting itself out, and am anxious to read the full pdf and learn how to fine tweak it. i have only put about 20 miles on it since installation. how long does it take to "learn" where it should be? any particular rpm ranges that i should ride in, or just ride normally?

ride it.....thirty miles....turn it off, it will take at least a couple hundred miles to really before it really tunes it'self in. Dont get worried yet, you need miles, and the more you start it and stop it, (off) the faster it will learn.

i would imagine its similar to the DTT in that you should hold the throttle at different positions constant til redline...like at 10%, then do it at 20%, and so on....that way it will learn the diff map settings faster
