Is it better to run HD Tune on a fresh drive as in no OS? I seem to get lower scores on my drive since I installed Win 7.

HDTune will always return higher scores on a drive that isn't being used for Windows. This is because when you run it on the drive Windows is installed on HDTune and Windows will fight each other for disk access leading to pits in the graph.
Really you shouldn't use HDTune to benchmark your SSD anyway. HDTune is geared towards mechanical drives and you would be better off using CrystalDiskMark.
