I use the nightrider.com XIED.
while not a "tuner", it does offer compensation for a free flowing intake and exhaust, slightly richening the air fuel mixture by about 8% under most conditions.
cost about $125
ignition timing, rev limit etc are all retained at stock parameters


The xieds are a simple resistor pack plugged inline with the o2 sensors, these "fool" the stock ecm into richening the mixture

suitable for a stage 1, not the ticket for cams or other mechanical performance improvements ( stage 2, 3, 4 etc)

PCV here.....you can change the fuel across all RPM ranges as well as the timing which is pretty handy if your motor starts to ping at some point. I could put the AT on it but it already runs like a raped ape so why bother.

I am running the PC-V. I will be hooking up my auto tune tomorrow, along with new exhaust, and right now I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

Have you or your tuner ever looked at a SEPST or a Power Vision. They all have the same adjustments. In fact you can copy from one and paste in the other. The TTS does have some good canned maps and so does the SEPST. The power vision is starting to catch up on the maps. As far as being more useful and easier to use the Power Vision is my choice. You can monitor functions and do autotuning without a computer. You can do quick tune functions with out a computer. They all three have a compare tool, but again the PV is much more user friendly with the Delta function. I haven't found the Smooth function on anything but the PV. It does exactly what it says, makes real smooth running.

I have the Power Vision. The thing I really like about the PV is leaving on the bike and monitoring what's going on at all times. I can store 6 tunes in it and pull over and flash the ECM at anytime with another map if I want more performance or better fuel economy.

I've had a few, (Cobra Fi2000, SESPT) and now the T-Max With the T-Max my bike is running better than it ever has. The initial price is more, but from my experience it's worth it.
