I have the thundermax with auto tune on my bike and i love it i just recently took a trip from Md To Tn so it was def a elevation change and the bike never spit sputterd or nothing it ran like a champ the whole time where a few friends bikes didnt like the elevation change My 2 cents you cant go wrong with a thundermax Especially if it has auto tune

T-Max - Only 1 issue
I installed a T-Max on my 06 Heritage and the improvement was noticeable. Any Windows Laptop from recent years should work well for you, and even though mine had the O2 sensors, you will still want to run the software to get a basemap of the bike for comparrisson later on after you put some miles in the saddle.
One note of caution: I made a rookie mistake when installing mine the first time. I didn't run the wires propperly through the battery compartment and one of the wires got pinched and eventually broke while I was riding. Bike did a complete shutdown, no acceleration......END OF RIDE. Be careful if you install yourself or check the job of the other guy. Any problems with ignition or acceleration loss, check the T-Max connections first! Ride safe.......

I too have the TM and can't say enough good things about it. The bike runs cooler and throttle response is immediate, also does away with the throttle lag that is inherent on the 08 and above tbw bikes where the butterfly does not fully open until 3k rpm. I'm still tuning mine in but the learning curve has not been that bad. I went from the TTS Mastertune and got tired of riding 15 and 20 times with a laptop trying to tune the damn thing in. This has been a piece of cake with letting the AT set the fuel curves for the bike and just ride without having to stop, setup a run with the laptop, collect VE cells then adjust EGR, then conduct more VE runs, adjust EGR, then ride for pinging, adjust for the pinging, then do more VE runs then adjust for EGR. Just got aggrevated with spending my entire weekend riding with a laptop and not just enjoy riding.

I'm running the TMAX with autotune on an '02 with new headers with the O2 sensors. Solved a lot of problems and runs very smooth compared to previous setup. I run the software on an older laptop with XP and a new netbook with Windows 7. No issues and with the smaller netbook which I can place in the tour pak and record data to see how a change went. --- Tom

The program will work on windows XP, Vista and 7. The link below may help you find the answer to some of your questions. The program file download is compressed to about 48mb, I am not sure of the acutal file size on the puter.
