I'm wondering the same, are you considering one Clode?

They are always an option, I just wonder how the clutches stand up compared to the yamaha. I love the orange T-cat.

So I've made a change... I deleted my EVO Stage 4 for a few reasons.
1. EVO promised 3bar MS & didn't deliver
2. They are NO LONGER providing ECU Mapping as they are now going with 3rd party PEFI (I think PEFI is very good)
3. They failed to return calls and emails.... so was a waste of monies. Very disappointing but never the less...

So I now have the Hurricane 270 High Elevation Tune... The reason's why I went with Hurricane as they have been on the Yamaha train for many years, They did my head on one of my nytros and was beautiful work, and they have developed a new kit with machined center section with huge gains 330hp 220 ftlbs this is currently only for SL to 4k' on 91 Octane.... (I have been a MCX guy since 2006 with apex's & nytro's) I was darn near going to go with the MCX 260-340 Kit but I'm trying to be more responsible with monies and I think clutching is gonna be challenging for me anyways.
What is unique Hurricane Data logged for weeks from 3k' - 10k' hence why its called this tune 270HE (High Elevation) as they wanted to enter the western market.

All that being said I'm hoping I made the right choice for weights so going to run STM @ 83 grams... maybe i should have went with Dalton DTYA-2 OR SSI Magnetic like the profile Lund uses. Staying with stock helix and using purple sec.

I see Panzerdog is the guy to answer that question, he has a couple.

This article from snow sports magazine oct 18 issue says lots about the thunder cat clutching vs Yamaha clutching. As for my king cat clutching it’s been great so far I only got it at Easter so only 555 km but never having to adjust the belt deflection again is priceless. The 16 1100 turbo has 2200km and is on its second belt but I do struggle a little to get the belt set right F3B4FA24-29E4-4E2F-BF18-9603B243830C.jpg

Your on the right track for sure, a lot of the guys currently running the 250 setup are not getting great results because their clutching is not working for them, clutching is key.
Plus i'm a little skeptical when it comes to reflash claims, considering i'm turning 73g weights and 60+mph track speeds on stock tune, while some are struggling to run 65mph on reflash tunes.
I think you made the right decision, i like the profile, and the weight 83g and agree with the stock cam and purple spring.
I certainly would love to see your sled go.

There is a suggestion i would make, if your running the 162", gear up. Use the 24/50 gears for a 2.08:1 ratio. Especially with the purple spring.
