I had a 2007 Streeglide with D&D and A/C. Ran a different a/f controller that had a map from the manufacturer for that set up. Bike ran good. When the Thundermax came out did a lot of research about what the users had to say and what they were doing with it to make the bike run better. Bottom line: confinced myself to my one. Dropped the map from Thundermax for my set up and it was like night and day. More power, smoother running, etc. Biggest complaint folks have with their canned maps is MPG. I adjusted my a/f to 14.2 from 10-30 % throttle in the range of 2.8 - 3.4K rpm. Gas milage went back to 46-48. I had no complaints with the unti for the 15K, I used it. Took it off the bike when I traded. I would buy one again.

I have it on my '11 SG 103 and love it, runs great, good mileage, no issues. Can do whatever and not have to worry about a map to download or dyno tuning.
ECU replacement makes installation simple, no need to cram additional stuff in there.
A little misleading since the retail on the Power Commander V AND Autotune is $780. And you have to package both with the ECU, correct?

HAd power commander V and had other tuners.
Had the PCV dyno tuned. After riding it for about 9 months, it started runnin bad and gave some issues crankin, somehow it erased most of the map.
Like the Thunder-Max a whole lot better.
Like tech support with Zippers too.
