You can leave the PV hooked up for gauges, or completely remove it after flashing your ECU. The PV also has excellent data logging capabilities if you download the software, and use your laptop.  You can even view trouble codes and erase them on the fly.  We are highly experienced in tuning these Defenders and that will show. Our tunes are simply set up correctly and everyone with a Powervision should have these tunes! They are also easily labeled and will show rough horsepower claims with supporting mods such as exhaust and clutching. These tunes modify all the necessary maps to create big horsepower, while still maintaining a reliable and safe Defender.  Each tune is built specifically for your Powervision. This package also features our Stage 1 clutch kit!  No matter the terrain, they hit hard and just keep pulling for days.  On the trail or on the racetrack you'll notice wicked acceleration and instant clutch response when getting back into the throttle after hammering that corner.  In the dunes you'll see the same benefits, but also have much less bogging when climbing that big dune.  The machine will hold RPM so you can get where you need to go, and get there faster!  Going mudding?  Our mud setup will help turn those tires through the thick and deep with much better RPM and wheel speed that's key to climbing out of that hole. We have a huge amount of CVT knowledge, a great passion for the sport, and spent many hours testing different setups in the real world.  We know you'll be extremely pleased with the performance gain from our clutch kits!  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eThe Defender HD9 is a great UTV with potential.  It's priced right, and for just a little more we can get the power you are needing.  Our clutch kit and tuning combo shows real gains when clutching for a higher RPM as this motor likes to rev more than what the factory allows.\n\u003cul style=\"box-sizing: inherit; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eHorsepower gains are 3-4 RWHP on Level 1 with stock clutching, but having the limiters removed and better throttle response makes it feel like more.  If you clutch the vehicle for 6400-6700 RPM @ 45-50 MPH you'll gain 6-7 RWHP over stock.  If you add exhaust and Level 2 tune with clutching you are looking at a total of 9-10 RWHP over stock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eQuicker throttle response and power delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eThrottle by wire tables are modified for better response, especially in high range.  Low range throttle mapping is a little better, but still left mild for good crawling. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eMore low range throttle, stock throttle mapping does not allow for 100% throttle in low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eTorque calculations set correctly to ensure the most performance at all times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eFuel tables modified to gain low end punch and safe yet powerful air\/fuel ratios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eTiming tables modified for best power per tune, available in 87 octane and 91-93 octane.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eFan on\/off temps lowered from factory 203\/198°F to 185\/180°F\n\u003cul style=\"box-sizing: inherit; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"x-el x-el-span c2-1a c2-1b c2-3 c2-7h c2-1l c2-6i c2-7i\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Montserrat, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: inherit; text-transform: inherit; color: inherit; font-weight: bold; font-size: inherit !important; line-height: inherit;\"\u003eWinter tunes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(runs hotter but safe coolant temps) available for those with cabs\/heaters in cold climates.

We go the extra mile to make sure everything is gained, and have a few extra tricks up our sleeve because we test in the real world. Other maps take their time to hit peak timing numbers which really hurts performance. Our map gets you into peak timing quicker, so max power seems more instant. We also have a great fuel curve that is designed to go with our timing curve, and offers better fueling for more power at WOT.  We also do some work with torque limiters as in the dirt we saw throttle closures when spinning the tires. Our map fixes that issue giving you 100% locked power delivery.  We also do the easy things like up the speed limiter to where you will never hit, disable 2 foot limiters \u0026amp; more. Basically, this is the all out tune that has all the features you want built right into it. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\"\u003eTo help better transfer the power gained to the wheels, and to achieve proper peak RPM, this kit includes our Stage 1 Clutch Kit:\n\u003cul style=\"box-sizing: inherit;
