I have
I have two machines in the garage now, both 2017 137. one has td powertrail stock muffler flash and the other with the hurricane 270 stock muffler flash. I think we will have some healthy comparisons.It’s pretty easy to do real world tests , just have to get a few guys here to meet sometime this winter to evaluate different tunes against each other. Then the bullshit stops ...lol
But you would need 2-3 guys with TD & hurricane tunes to get a fare test.

I bet everyone would be very close, rider weight, traction, etc would all play into it. I say everyone coordinates who can polish off a beer the quickest and theirs your winner.

The 270 flash would have to race a max spool 16 not the powertrail.I have

Powertrail sm is the ultra safe stock muffler tune even runs on 87 in a pinch.

The way i see it as I'll buy the Performance package I'm most comfortable with. I don't blame these guys for wanting to sell their products, but when it comes to the typical aggressive salesman tactics it's just such a turn off.

What are the real world, trail riding benefits of say a (Hurricane 240 vs 270) or (TD Ecotrail vs Powertrail)? Fun factor, gas mileage, drive-ability? Is there really that much of a difference?

there's a major factor not often enough considered...dependability and the separate program (a much more difficult program to write ) of knock detection....TD Is an innovator in knock detection on four stroke turbos...this factor alone has extreme value and sets TD apart

Real world trail riding is different from one guy to the next. I think most turbo owners tend to ride bigger more wide open trails then I live on. So those riders will not feel the differences as much, and certainly have different needs or criteria then i do. Tight trail system needs instant spool, and lots of engine braking and seriously instant backshift. However when I head to Qc, all that becomes quite different.
For the 240 & 270 tunes I have. There is no comparison to the Quick Spool tunes corner to corner. And having your clutches setup to make the turbo spool down low is also important. Fuel is less a concern in tight trail system, as you will rarely(If ever) see a knock light at these speeds. But having the knock light/protection is the core key element to how these tunes were able to be designed to be so powerful and include huge boost down at 5500rpms as Hurricane shows in their dyno sheets. Something that makes or breaks a tune for snapping off knolls.

Td is not the innovator of the knock detection system on the 998.i can say loosely that it was a joint effort to be politically correctthere's a major factor not often enough considered...dependability and the separate program (a much more difficult program to write ) of knock detection....TD Is an innovator in knock detection on four stroke turbos...this factor alone has extreme value and sets TD apart

I believe he was referring to the 1100 cat motor years back.Td is not the innovator of the knock detection system on the 998.i can say loosely that it was a joint effort to be politically correct

I worded it poorly..TD and hurricane worked on this platform knock...what I meant to say TD has a decade of tuning four stroke turbos and was making knock protection , engine safety features and knock lights years before many new to the market mass tunes..speaking about the past and experience..
The best tune is the one the guy has replying to your thread.
