This thing is great!!! Best $350 you can spend. With my 27's and Warn 2500 winch hangin' off the nose, wheelies are no problem. It even sounds different, like it's pissed or something. Great job VDI! Also don't need the choke anymore for whatever reason. This thing let's you tune the BF however you like, from the timing curve to reverse rev limiter to top end rev limiter.

Thanks for the report. So it did wind up costing $350 American? I ask because the price listed on their website is $350 Canadian, at least I think. Did you have to re-jet?

No jetting, no miss, no hesitation, at least not yet. If you punch it, it's like being shot out of a cannon.

By the way, Lyle at VDI is available for questions all the time. Just email him and he is right there with an answer. Great product support!

The price is $350 Canadian, plus $25.00 Canadian for shipping, plus about $30.00 American for getting it through customs.

...so much for NAFTA.

Canadian is about 87 cents on the dollar so what's that, $350 plus $25 is $375x.87=$326 plus the $30 for being Canadian. Total =$356

The exchange rate affects the price a little bit.

Cool, thanks for the info. I need to get my tires (looking at those Mudlite XTRs and maybe wheels) first, then try to install my Dynojet kit. The Copperhead sounds like something I'm going to "need" soon though. . . .

glad you like it poindexter, I thought about it but figured I'd wait till the bugs are worked out. Keep an eye out, they dont like water! sunk my dyna a bunch of times w/ no problems thus far! but I'll give them a year or two and I'll prolly buy one

I asked Lyle at VDI about the water. He said it is sealed for water. They coat the circuit board with sealer and the case is sealed as well. He said if I was going to be under water for extended periods of time, I could run a bead of sealer around the seams on the outside just to be sure.
