Thundermax Maps
OK, I know there is a lot of builds out there from HQ with the Zippers Thundermax with Auto-tune. You go online with thundermax for some updated maps and no one has posted one for a HQ build or Heads,Cams and so on. Whats up with that?

Noticed the same thing with respect to Screaming Eagle throttle bodies. Only one map with an SE TB.Hundreds of maps with Zippers TB's. Hmmmmmm, sounds proprietary.

RE: Thundermax Maps
Any T'maxapproved tuning shop can open the maps and sub any other product to design a custom map, but they don't offer all of that tothe publiccause it would quadruple the tech support calls and drown them with silly questions like, why does my bike do this, and can't you do that? Thats one of the reasons they limit the build maps. As long as the size of the Build, T/B, Cams, and exhaust types are close, the brand doesn't matter anyways. Just pick something close to your bike and it should learn it from there.

RE: Thundermax Maps
Because ofthe different sizedfuel injectors,a SE 50 mm TB and the Zippers 50 mm TB are not a close match by a long shot. Zippers recommends one base map (for a 110" engine) for anyone who runs a SE 50 mm TB. They've got hundreds of base maps with Zippers 50 mm TB's, but they don't recommend them for engines with the SE 50 mm TB because of the pulse width difference. After letting theAT attempt to tunemy poorly matched base map forover 5K miles, I took the bike in to an authorized TMAT tuner and theybuilt a custom map for the bike. Huge gains in TQ an HP. Bottomline, the ATfunction can't tune a poorly matched map. However, if the base mapmatch is aclose one, then you're good to go.
