Hey Guys,
Looking for opinions and input. Those of you riding with tunes or just exhaust/clutching.
Would you bother riding stock for a while or Hot Rod it from the get go? Wondering fuel economy tune vs. stock also. Warranty factor aside. Thanks.

I ran mine this year stock other than clutching. I wanted to make sure everything was good with the first year engine and see what was working out flash wise. Next year I'll have the full TD package on it. If I was buying an 18 I'd go straight to a tune since the engine has proven itself and the tuners are up to speed.

I had 0.1 miles on my sled when I added the TD EcoTrail/SuperQuiet package - so right from the start. Only 1340 miles in this crappy Winter, but 100% trouble free and loving it. Love it so much I just ordered the TD flasher and the tune bundle so I can turn up the wick.

Thanks for the reply. How's your gas mileage with the tune? Did you have any way of comparing it to stock?I had 0.1 miles on my sled when I added the TD EcoTrail/SuperQuiet package - so right from the start.

Thanks, still decent mileage considering you're getting after it. Crusing, I'm sure you'd gain at least a couple mpg.Can't compare to stock but I routinely get 14 mpg. And I ride fast.

My riding buddy has a stock (clutched) Viper and I'm never more than .5 gallon more than him, sometimes I do better than he does.
