I have had 3 thundermax's. 10, 11 Ultra, and 14 rk. I had to get a newer version for the 14 with Autotune it is a pleasure to drive. I think you can get a gutted 09 headpipe for pretty cheap and they have the bigger bungs in them already. I havn't had to run auto tune since I installed it. Just download the disc to your laptop. Plug it into the TMax and a few clicks and then drive it. It gets better after 2 or 3 short rides. Man it makes my bike run great. Oh, and I got it slightly used from ebay for $400

Between my father and I we have had 4 bikes all running Thundermax. Have had zero issues. I recommend it to everyone I talk to.

I installed the ThunderMax along with all the upgrades shown in my signature line as a total package. The autotune gradually zeroed in the settings from a starting point recommended by Frank at Drago's for my set-up.
3 years later, I have not had the need to change a thing, never spent a nickel on dyno tuning, get great gas mileage and the bike runs flawlessly.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

And here I've been sitting on a Tmax setup (thottle body, ecm, O2s, air cleaner) for a year. Took it off a 2k Ultra.

I ran a T-max on my '07 flstf which had a 103 build, cams and etc. I was not thrilled with that tuner- never dialed in even with support from Tmax staff.

The PowerVision seems to be the ticket for me, Fuelmoto support is 1st rate.

I might as well get my two cents in. I've been running the same TMAX AT on my 05 since 2007. It's been used on it as a low comp 98", then a higher comp 98" and now on my 120". I guess I like it.

I've been running a T-Max in my 08 for a couple months and the improvement over my PCV is amazing. It's not too complicated. Bike is definitely running great. I had to modify my V&H dresser duals for clearance of the larger o2 sensors.

Giving this some thought. Seems like there could possibly be better support from fuel moto......Will order one tomorrow.

Does the pv need to be plugged in always. Hopefully it can do its thing and then remove, as far as the unit dangling from the bars.
