After market EFI systems

[BeeRAD56]

I know I'm opening up a can of worms with this one but maybe that's purpose of an open forum and I'd really like some good feedback.

I've had great luck with a Thundermax with auto tune on my wife's 07 Street Bob after mods to a set of screaming eagle slip on's by removing the glass and cutting out the baffels and leaving the inside tips. I also added a SE heavy breather along with the TM EFI mods. The TMAT was a straight forward install, easy programming and the results nothing short of amazing. All together the mods have brought that motor to life in a big way. You better prepared to counter steer if you get on it or the torque will pull you off the road!
We live next to the Colorado Rockies and frequently take rides with 5000 ft. and 30 + deg. temp. changes with no problems. Unlike friends with the traditional PC, SERT and dyno tuning approach.

While I recognize timing changes are part of the mix (as is decent fuel) and that the TMAT doesn't do that automately, it can be done easily through programming. I hate having someone work on my ride and avoid it at all costs. Especially when it seems that they are challenged with getting fluid levels correct let alone runnning the pi$$ out of my bike on a dyno. That's not to say that good dyno men aren't out there but it seems however they are hard to find, at least around here.

It seems that so many riders are married to the more traditional technology with piggy back systems like PC or SERT's and dyno tuning which are technician and conditions specific not to mention expensive. While the TMAT is pricey on the front end it seems far less expensive and much more effective in the long run.

I'm planning on exhaust and intake mods on my 2010 Street Glide and want to do the right thing with EFI. So what am I'm missing with the TM or Daytona Twin Tech with auto tune approach?

Thanks in advance an apologizes to users of the traditional approach, no offense intended.

Dyno tuning is made for max power results. You will get more out of that thundermax with a good tune to help the auto tune. The auto tune doesn't do the whole thing for you. If people thing the auto tune does it all then they are missing lots of power potential. I thought about the thundermax at one time and then why spend all that money when you can take the time and tune so I stuck with my super tuner.
