In a perfect world. I did a speedo 122mph last year. In very bad conditions. Now my belt has too many miles to make a speed run. New belt tomorrow.
I sure want to run a tuned sidewinder on a lake. Hopefully soon.

As I was saying the speedo was only 1 mph high from gps, So pretty dam close! How many miles are on your sled?

1900miles on original belt. And no belly protector installed. Sitting next to sled. Taking care of that tomorrow too.
It would be my luck.....

So dennis,it seems you now have your tune running very good,if you have seen 125 speedo,i would say very good,milage seems close to mine,between 13-16 14 plus seems to be average now,1800 miles on it,that is between two belts,both stock 8jp have not lost a belt yet,and hope I don't,we have plenty of snow up in patten,and another foot coming down now,should be awesome.
Yes Pete, it seems to go pretty good and has a very aggressive mid range pull. Hoping for the ideal trail conditions and a long enough spot to really ring it out though.

Stock would be hard to get alot over 120gps unless you are ice running and very long distances....
The difference I found instantly with the TUNE is how FAST it accelerates now to get to top speed. Its not even close to stocker.
My sled now on 1" fluff will shoot to 125gps w/the 270r Hurricane map with only holding it WOT for about 1800ft or so. I roll into it and out of a total of 2400 to 2500 ft gets to 125gps FAST. And the thing that blows my mind is how easily its done, this was without tucking at all as I was just testing some live data and belt temps. 22 gear seems to have alot more room, but I sorta wished I had tried the tune with stock gears just to see how fast I would tap them out fully. I would imagine 130 would come fast if I held it WOT a tad longer, and tucked. I can see how guys with a 1" track can make huge speeds and need more gear.
Running with 850s or any other normal HP sleds, its such a blast to just play with them at 3/4 throttle as they are all tucked down trying to get some speed on best track, while I can be out in the powder and just leave them like they hit brakes.
This is the best part about owning the big power....You can just play with the others.
But for all of you that ride with other turbos, I would expect alot of belts going down. lol

The TD GPS is awesome. I'm just getting started on clutching and haven't had great conditions and not allot of room to test so it has been challenging. Studded down the middle for trail saw 118.8 MPH in 1320, but i'm not sure i had the room to run through the entire 1320
This is on the 240R

Saturday I got 122+ on a good trail (road) not perfect conditions for top speed but it was easy getting there and still had some left.. lost first belt yesterday at 900 miles. Absolutely in love with this sled!!
Track spinning so bad it takes almost 2 seconds to get to 40mph. Putting WAY more studs in next year

Yeah its impossible to hook them up pretty much...lolTrack spinning so bad it takes almost 2 seconds to get to 40mph. Putting WAY more studs in next year
Mine being setup for trail Im aware of that fully....Im not a drag racer and have no need for that. But with 3per bar, 1.450s you can roll into it and it will start to hook around 35-50mph..lol Before that its tough.
Too many things start breaking when you hook these up bigtime down low with this much power...after all this is my daily driver/trail sled....its already gonna be hard on drivetrain and belts as is....
