RE: DTT and PhilM
I notice on the first page that they state it is "not intended for stock engines". I am curious as to why it should not be put on a stock motor if it is auto tuning? Also, what are the minimun mods that would need to be done to install it? Air cleaner and pipes? Heads and cams?

Phil,
The timeing table that is in the map that I sent you is one that I made. It is in the Excell spreadsheat that I sent you. It is the first table listed called "Cust". I had too much pinging with the HQ table.
Does he have any pinging with this timing table?
Does Bryan's bike have the 615/585 cams?

Phil,
I truly believe this is the way to go. I ordered the Tmax. Do you know what the differences are between the Tmax and the DTT? I read the Tmax was plug and play and the DTT was a little more complicated due to the wiring. Besides that is there anything else? I'm wondering what made you decide on the DTT instead of the Tmax. I called Doug and he only sells the DTT.

Locknut, I think that's more or a general statement indicting that the ROI may not be as great on a stock'ish bike.
Fact of the matter is that all bikes benefit from proper tune and that static tunes are just that - "static".
It's a dynamic world we live in and things change. Some will like/need/want dynamic tune, some will not.
It has been mentioned that those of us who are always jacking with stuff will benefit the most, and I certainly agree with that.... as I am "one of those" always mess'n with sumthin.

A couple other motivation factors were that BC Geralomy directly supports the DTT (with their TB's, which I have) and some of Bryan's research with both GMR and Zippers. Steve is also a DTT guy and Zippers told Bryan the same thing they told me... "Not recommended for his build"....
Ironically, Zippers helped me decide....
Oh yea.... I had a DTT on my previous carb'd RG and really liked it, so I had some bias based on personal experience with their products.
Differences: The main thing I know of is that Zippers hides or locks some of timing capabilites from the end user, which in some cases could be a limiting factor.

Hey PhilM....why did you decide on DTT over Thundermax? The Thundermax looks easier to install but I know you have done all the research.
I remember a kid in grammar school that had all the cool stuff...I thought I had outgrown that....Now you guys come along!!!!!
