            Anyway, back to the jet size question, Chopper says he is using the air corrector thingy. This restriction is to increase the velocity of the air through the carb throat, more Venturi effect, so a smaller jet seems to be right. The kids are putting these things on their Civics, with fuel injection, does it work? Who knows! They'll say "15 hp bolt on" to anything.

              Ah David that must be it. Might go nice with high-velocity porting...

              Hey Doug, which filters did you get from Kimpex, the Uni two-stage or K&N? or other?
