I don't see many actual haters of XiEDs and ViEDs here. Some guys seem to be more inclined to go the more pricey tuner route and I can dig it.

But I don't think anyone has disputed the XiEDs and ViEDs get the job done nicely to finish off your Stage 1.

I'd pick the XiED's over a factory download any day.

Good for me as well. Cuts a little into your gas mileage but well worth it to me. Great product in my humble opinion.

210 degrees on an 85 degree day seems pretty low to me.

I would guess other than adding an oil cooler you're not going to get it much lower than that.

FL-ViED-10 are working for me also. Takes a little fine tuning if you have the adjustable ViED's. I have Rush Slip-On mufflers (2" baffles) and Fuel Moto Pro Billet Air Cleaner.

I didn't realize that 210 oil temps were considered high. That's about what my temps have always been... On the hottest of days in stop and go traffic mine can get to 220 or slightly more but that is rare. The only engine mod I have is a 2:1 exhaust pipe but that never changed my temps from what they were with the stock pipes.

So does anyone else using these also experience a drop in MPG?

Or is this maybe a consequence of "Hey! I got better throttle response so now I'm always rapping the throttle when I'm sitting at a red light and gunning it when I accelerate because my scoot performs so much better now!" syndrome?

I'm interested in trying these in order to avoid sticking YET ANOTHER object under my seat.
