Thunder Max Ecm ___ Dyno tune
Is there No One in Southeast Mich. that can tune a Thunder Max ECM ? I listed this over in the Tech area a week or so back and not One reply. The auto tune can only do so much, Needs to be dailed in on a dyno. 04 Ultra SE 103 stage 2 - Thunder Max with autotune.

On my current bike, I went with a TTS and had it Dynotuned which IMO is a superior product and the final result is superior. With that being said, the key to getting it dialed in with a TTS or similar product is getting a person who really knows what their doing on a dyno. That can be the hard part. How far are you from IL ??

I owned one for a short time but never had it installed although my Indy swears by them - with no Dyno by the way.... I had a guy tune my PCV with a scanalyzer?? Whatever he used dialed my bike in 100% - I had the autotune module before and could never get it right - my bike builds torque like no tomorrow now... Good luck in your search!

Every auto-tune needs a dyno tune to establish the base map for it to tune to. Not to mention that the auto-tune does nothing at all for timing, so you need to get on a dyno to have the timing adjusted.
Bean at www.bigboyzheadporting.com has done a few Thundermax dyno tunes............but he's in Maine, so that would be a heck of a drive for ya, but worth it in the end.

I went to Dyno Power in Ohio. 1523 W Laskey RD. Toledo Oh. 43612 They were good people to deal with,and got a great tune. I wish there was a good tuner closer also.

You are right on the money ! One problem is, Thunder Max does not have a base map match for my 255 cams as they were not made back in 04 ( I reworked a set to fit the older inner bearings and went with the new style hyd. chain tenioners -oil pump - bumped compression alittle - cleaned up the ports ) anyway it pulls right off line just like I wanted, but has a little hickup at lite throttle cruise. Yes the timing needs to be set ( spark and injectors ) and the front and rear cylinders should be done seperatley. The only thing that Auto-tune can do is airfuel ratio adjustments, and each engine is a little different from the next, I feel you need a dyno tune to get the map set up right in the first place.

You are correct on that, They are installed and working, Map is not a perfect match. One not available for my engine set up. Called Zippers and told them what I had done and they sent me a map they made up but my bike would not run right on it. Runs better ( Good ) with a somewhat close map from there (Thunder Max) list of maps. Still needs a Good Dyno tune.
