i read that i have to ride about 1mile before i keep the throttle wide open for any length of time with the tempa flow.there is no snow around here. so the lakes are all ice. i went out on the lake today just to test the sled out after having it tuned up. of course i went through a pair of hyfax, i could smell my brother in laws hyfax on his viper because he was in front of me. so we called it a day.do you think ill be ok to just go up to the starting line and just nail it wide open. or should i disconect the tempaflow. and if yes what is the best way to dissconect the tempa.any opinions would be great. im going against a bunch of polaris.

Don't Sweat It
gripper - You don't need to actually ride for a mile w/ a Tempaflow before pinning it. What you do need to do is run the engine to draw fresh (cool) air into the airbox and let the Tempaflow adjust to the temperature before pulling a hard run. The reason for that statement in the instructions is that if the sled sits with the engine off for a few minutes and the airbox heats up from the engine/pipe heat then the Tempaflow will adjust for that temperature and lean you out when you start it up and take off like a bat out of he!!. In your low snow situation I'd either run the sled slowly around before the run, let it idle for a few minutes, or just lift the hood when you let the sled sit to dissipate the underhood heat.
