Default HL module testing

The HL module is not working well on my 02 Prairie. In fairness to HL, I want to check with them before I post anything.

There's more low end frequency things. One out of Quebec and one by Reds650 (Dale Brooks). I heard of some one else to I can not remember the other one. I think you will find that all what really counts is you have one... they all basically do the same thing. Dale's might be a little more advanced thou.

Prairie633, did you have one of the other modules before?

Or maybe we just haven't seen a true comparison between boxes on '03 P650's or '04 P700's to find out if they really do work better; people are just slapping them on and saying that they work great. Time will tell.........

Default HL module testing

Novakaw650, I have an 2002 Prairie with the DG removed. I am waiting for a guy I know with a stock Prairie 700 to use for the acceleration testsl. I have finished with all of the electronic tests between the DG and HL but want to finish everything before I write a final report. If I had some other modules, I could test them as well. DG would have sent me one for the test, but I had theirs already. I had to buy the one from HL because they said they have never looked at the others and didn't care how they compared, but that they were sure theirs was superior to everything that is out there. I don't think I could determine which works the best without actually testing them so I spent so money. I want to use both model year Prairies, because of the different generations of igniters used on them. 21119-1598 for 2002, and 21119-0004 for 2003 and 2004. I also thru in a V-Force igniter into the electronic tests, 21119-1629. I mapped the timing curves with and without the modules installed, except with the 1629 igniter that has no speed sensor input for the module. I want to finish all of the tests before posting the results.

Looking very very forward the see the results. We must thank you for taking the time and money to help us all to finally see the difference a HL module would give us over our holeshot modules. Hope the results are positive.

Thanks for all the work, prairie633. If you run both the DG and the H/L on the P700 then we will have a true performance picture.

Prairie633, you are awesome. Not only for all the work you are doing, but also for getting hard facts and proof before spouting off. These forums need more good guys like you.

Thanks for all the work you are doing! Many of us really appreciate it, before we have to spend our money. Right now I am leaning towards waiting for a CDI.

Thanks for the comments. I plan on testing the first available aftermarket igniter. I don't think I can get it on a dyno, but I can at least map out the timing curves and do some accelerometer testing. I would like to measure the performance gain on a completely stock machine, and then do incremental mods with it on.
