I just bought a 2008 Firebolt and I already want to upgrade the bike? Can I get by with just a Jardine and a K&N filter but no ECM upgrade? Im not sure if the Race ECM will void the warranty thats why im asking.

As of right now, Buell does not make a Race ECM for the '08's yet. I would expect to see it in the spring. Techlusion is working on a tuner at the moment. Still in development. I have sent a few 08's down the road with Jardine's and a K&N without any problems. So you are clear there.

But it says right there its only for 99-07.I asked them if it would work on my bike and they said they don't know but one is in the making for the 08.So if there making one for the 08 then it must be different right?

Don't put anything on your bike until it says it is specifically made for your year. It could screw things up with the motor.

Call Dobeck directly and find out. They will know the real story.

EMCSPY has a program, a new one that does the '08's, but it is hard to find from what I hear. But that way you keep the stock ecm and remap it to basically be a race ecm.

My friend has a Jardine exhaust and no problems at all, it still responds great etc. What are the benefits of an aftermarket EMC?

That's a pretty BS reply there LeFox. I believe bevo may be looking to discuss something rather than use the search tool.

I'm looking for an ECM (or alternative) at the moment. I have just the jardine and nothing else right now...I get a bit of low end chug and skip, but it doesn't stall or anything. Most of the chugging is only noticable when the engine is cold, after I get going, I don't really notice any difference other than some slight skipping when I gun it hard. So, you should be fine...albeit my bike is an '03 9R, but it should affect your bike more adversly than mine
