I used the 379 map since I couldn't find anything closer to my actual setup. Mine is a 08 fxstsse2 but Euro version, and since I do't like my bike too noisy I just bought a set of SE and pierced a hole through the baffles (internally) so it would have some free flow. Also replaced my football type filter with a standard SE Big Sucker and that's about it. tried the bike out this morning and it goes just fine ; only thing though, the more it gains speed faster the more I sense the lack of a proper front brake. Have just installed Lyndall pads and they are setting in, which doesn't help; it can only get better 

One thing I could not find out was the Speedo Calibration number for the 08 SE Springer Softail... any clues???

The installation of the TMAX unit was trickier than expected, but after having done my Dyna anything else can be described as "no sweat" or peanuts.

With only 700 odd miles on the clock, the bike with the standard gear, over 4000 rpm was just vibrating like hell and the power curve went flat... Now up to 4K it moves like never before, but after that, an endless surge and infinite power curve soars up to whatever rpm I take it to.....Then I have to brake and that's where the fun ends.

Anyway I am sure that if you want to improve your CVO (or any other Harley for that matter), TMax with the Autotune is the way to go. Too early to say, but with only 90 miles done with the unit, the bike is already performing much better than expected and it is still trimming here and there all by itself while I just ride...what can be better than that?

Take a look at a few pics I took during the installation:

spanish flyer. glad you like the tmax. now that the shake (cylinder imbalance from oem tune!) is tuning out, you will really enjoy it. remember to stop the engine and wait about 30 seconds before restarting every half hour and hold throttle/load in different positions to expedite the "learning" process.

Thanks guys,
Rednectum could you please elaborate a bit on that tuning procedure? You mean hold the throttle steady in different load conditions?
Where I live we have curves on the curves, so holding the throttle steady is quite difficult... I can do that on the highway, but there are very few hills that can really affect the torque...of course, I could use longer gears...

Thank you again.

One other question that has been bothering me is: Does the TMax always stay on the closed loop condition? my guess is that on a fast throttle opening or when it is warming up, it works on an open loop. And the other, when does the learning mode stop...if it ever does

closed loop starts at around 200 F head temp.not necessary to "hold " throttle posistion, it does howver expedite the learning.

Got mine back from the shop. Have the thundermax. got back some on the baffles and no adjustment needed. Cams and pistons are running well. She has some power!!!
