I have been reading alot on the internet about auto tuners vs. dyno tuning ..... there are alot of opinions on this ....... i have a 2010 CVO street glide with a true dual exhaust  ..... what do you use and why ?

Someone is trying to convince me to go auto tune , but i dont know the ups and downs vs dyno tuned

I just bought a 2012 SEULTRA. I changed the pipes and used a SE Race Tuner this time around. It has an smart tune function that works very well. I had to buy the cables and software for the tuner but so far it has been worth it. Before that I used a Thunder Max with excellent results. I think they have a pretty good map library now. Back in that day you needed to find someone who could tune it.

Hope this helps!!!!! I know there are a few others out there that people on here are using. I'm  sure you will a lot of response to this question.

there is currently a power commander with the 02 sensors on the bike now .... lots of flat spots and popping on decel ..... it is a generic map though, not custom

Recently I traded in a 2011 SE, the red and black one.  Only because the ignition switch broke 500 miles away from home and the delivery time for a new switch was around 28 days.  On that bike I had and SE Race tuner and also had to have it dyno tuned as well.  It ran very good.  With the new bike, a 2012 SE, blue and silver, I bought a Thunder Max with autotune built right in.  Now it starts as soon as you hit the starter, runs smoother, and I think runs just as well if not better. I haven't put in on a dyno to get any numbers yet.  But it runs very good.  Many setting can be set from your handle bars.  Idle speed, speedometer adjustments, and the like.  You start out with a base map, and the ECM constantly adjusts while you ride.  When your happy with the tune, you can turn off the autotune, or keep it tuning as long as you want.  When comparing the costs of each.  Both are about the same cost when you add in the dyno costs.  With the Tmax with the auto tune, if you make any equipment changes, you just continue to ride and it will adjust for the added equipment after you update the map if necessary.   Had everything installed at Delmarva Bike week along with new headers without a catalytic converter.  Now that I've had both,  I would definitely purchase the ThunderMax again. 

Good luck on your choice.

You need to find a good tuner in your area and see what they suggest. You can always try a Rev Performance EMS or a Thundermax Autotune and see if you like how it performs. With those you will not need a dyno or someone to tune it. Still others prefer the TTS or SERT, but with those you will most likely need some dyno time and someone to tune. The Power Commander you have should work as well, if you have the bike tuned by a competant person--which would be someone who works regularly with that device. Since you already own it that may be the most cost effective route.

I use the the Dynojet Power Vision works great  they have even just launched a new version of firmware for it with Autoyune Basic included the basic uses the stock narrow band O2 sensors just started using this feature so nothing to report yet.. I did read today that Fuelmoto are offering a $150 trade in  rebate on the Power Vision this month looks like they will trade most of the current models including the PC 3 ...worth checking it out   www.fuelmoto.com
they are a great bunch of guys to deal with

My riding buddy had his ultra dyno'd there. He was having problems getting his map right because of a stock flash and also had dead spots. They did a great job on it. The owner also has a newer bagger with a blown 103 thats pushing a lot of power.
He'll tune any brand with a pc

I'm using the Dynojet Power Vision with autotune.  I upgraded to add the wide band sensors as well.  Never spend another dollar on dyno tuning.
