Yup, it's running leaner now because of less air restriction.2H7 (79) owned since '89

So you didn't rejet or anything? Just pod it and leave it be?

guess you didn't read my other post...
or the sig.
i have the kerker 4-1 and it was already rejetted for that. the po did it. it also had 3 holes drilled in the airbox.
i am impressed with the pods because i used the emgo ones on my xs750 a few years back and they sucked!!! sputtered alot. these don't interfere with the airjet like the emgo's do. plus they have xs stamped on the front of them.
several guy's on the radian boards i was part of tried the emgo's as well and could never smooth them out. but the mike's xs pods have that small velocity stack built in and it doesn't restrict anything."
