Default Can I put a closed loop programer on a 1999?

Hello-
Well weather is cooling off here in IL, so starting to plan out winter projects etc. I'm still tearing down for a complete repaint and probably some body work mod's. I'm still looking at a possible cam change (again) and head work, with new exhaust. Wondering if I replaced the MM injection system with the 'thundermax' injection system, and installed 02 sensors in the new ehaust could I also then do the closed loop monitoring system for live on the fly tuning?

thanks for the help

Thanks Tman- I have been researching the thundermax kit, what I"m unsure about is the live tuning box they have. Since my 99 doesn't have 02 sensors currently, I"m wondering if I have bungs welded into my header, could I use one of the closed loop fuel management systems?

cost benefit isn't there.

If you are looking at "reliability issues" or need tuning flexibility wouldn't a carb be better?

- and I'm not a complete dinosaur- I use o2 sensors to tune my carbed bikes, even the panhead

I looked into efi kits for my evo bagger and my old Cadillacs- and found that cost way too high for what they were, most set ups were a throttle body type injector
