There is none.  The OEM is non tuneable.  The Dyna 3000 was the only alternative, and is no longer available.

Do you have the standard 4 degree trigger wheel in it. I changed to a 6 degree and feels quicker to me !

I'm not that conserned about the power, but did you get better mileage by changing the wheel? Do you have to go with higher octane fuel?  Is that a GW part or aftermarket?

Thanks

I had the 6 degree wheel on my standard, it is an aftermarket part. I bought mine with it installed, so I don't know what difference it might make in power or mpg.

According to the packaging the wheel comes in, you are supposed to use premium fuel to avoid any problems. I ran both regular and premium at different times and didn't notice any pings either way.

I don't know if they're still made of not. It was called the "Air Lake Trigger Wheel" I think. You could try searching for it, and they come up for sale once in a while used.

The 6 degree trigger wheel did improve my mpg. too. Two or 3 mpg better. Ordered mine from hondadirectline.com

I tried a 6 degree and all it did for me was cause more ping so I ended up with premium. I don't think it helped for mileage but if it did that was negated by the cost of premium.

I am back to the stock wheel now and used the electronic mod instead - It's called the ECT mod.

This mod basically does the same thing however it is adjustable and revers able in seconds and does not require any tear down.

+1 on the ECT mod, I have the adjustable audio taper and love the fact that I can shut it off if I want to use 87 octane, you can feel and hear the difference when you dial it up. I used a timing light and marked the knob at 2. 4. 6. and 8 degrees.
