Thunderbird tune w/ BC Exhaust & UNI filter

I recently installed BC Hogslayer pipes and UNI air filter on my 2010 Thunderbird 1600 ABS.
I would like to know what ECU tune code works best. I have read ECU code 20306 in a previous post.
Please tell me what your opinion is on the ECU tune?

If yours has SAI (secondary air injection) then you'd use the 20310 tune. If not, the 20363 tune. They called even the pre order bikes in mid '09 "'10's". So i'm not sure when yours was made, in '09 or '10. Supposedly in '10, which is the official 1st production year even tho the first run was mid '09, they did away with the SAI. I can't tell by the tune you said you have whether it's a tune with or w/o SAI, but i assume since you know the number you must have tuneecu, right? if so, look at the tune and see if SAI is checked or unchecked. If checked use the 20310 tune, if unchecked use 20363.

The reason i can't tell by the tune you mentioned is that it's NOT listed at the tuneecu site, which means it's an older tune thats been superceeded. Heres the page with the tunes listed. Scroll down about 2/3 of the way to the bottom...

Oops !!! I was looking at the 1700 tunes. navarre is right assuming your bike has SAI. If not use 20359, otherwise he's correct in saying 20306. DOH!

I installed Hogslayers and the Triumph high flow air filter about a month ago. Installed the pipes myself and remapped the ECU with 20306 using TuneECU. I'm very happy with the results. The new map works fine, no noticable adverse effects. I'm putting the bike on a dyno next week. I also had it dyno'ed at the same shop when it was completely stock so I should have real proof about the quality of the map soon.

Thanks guys,
I installed the pipes just before I left town for two weeks and will be home in four days. Chomping at the bit to get the bike out. Took it for a ride just to hear the new pipes before I left town and it seemed to be popping alot coming off throttle and downshifting.
Navarre, when you get the results from the dyno I would appreciate you letting me know the results. I don't have a TuneECU so I can't install the map myself which is why I would like to know which is the best map to install when I take the bike into the dealer when I get home.
Still trying to figure out if my bike has SAI as Dazco mentioned. I'm trying to get the build date off the Triumph web site since I vaguely recall seeing a build date late 2009 for my bike somewhere... just can't remember for certain. Getting old I guess haha

The Uni site doesn't include the Thunderbird or Storm. Which filter would I order for the Storm?

It's the same one the speedmaster and america use, which is the same the 1600 uses. Does the UNI site even list the 1600? Never listed the Tbird at all before. Takes them a while to relize theres a new bike that a filter they have will work with. Fast eddy has them... http://www.fasteddysports.com/?page_id=3&product_id=313

Don't be thrown by the fact it says "thunderbird 1600". It's for the storm too. They are the same bike except cams, pistons, and clutch springs. he should probably update that page.

Dazco thanks for the pic. I just went and pulled my side cover, and confirmed that I do have SAI. My bike was built in 12/09, so I can confirm that it was still being installed up to that time frame.
