    I installed a PCIII this past December on my 08 Ultra and have had no problems. Went to F&S HD in Dayton OH to have it dynoed and spoke with the tech about all the problems with these units on 08 HDs..he said the same thing I've heard elsewhere...he's aware of no specific problems with the unit and any 08 HD. I left the stock headers, added a stage 1 a/c kit and Rinehart eagle beak slip ons...she runs like a scalded dog and sounds real good to boot. The dyno broke down before they could get to me but when they do get it done, I'll upload the final map.

    Stated in a previous post he should of called Jamie with Fuel Moto and gotten a Power Commander V with Auto Tune, in a Retrofit kit. Then the canned map can adjust itself.
    works great on my 08 FLHT.

    Some folks are only interested in how much money they can save and does not want to git a good tuner.

    I'm still waitin on the Thundermax for the TBW.:gah:

    Hmmm they had a workin model about a month ago that they had been beta testing and were saying it was gonna be released in production in probaly August. I talked to them on the phone myself. I got the Indy shop where I took the TM class set up as a dealer and I'm on file since I took the class.
    I will call and talk to them if I can git time between work.

    Till then I will run the Power Commander V with auto tune.:cool:
