its not so much as the jets need resetting all of the time once that is done on the dyno then you have the trouble with the fuel hights this isnt much of a problem just a small length of clear pipe marked at 28"-38" connected to one side of the fuel inlet pipe then adjust your regulator (after market fitment) so as the fuel settles between the lines marked this is called setting the fuel hights as it differs with barrowmetric pressure
sunny hight pressure
wet low pressure
as for increase in bhp there will be a very small gain but the response on the throtle will be a massive gain

i hope this helps

hi spannerman, is yours a seald box with a air snorkel under the bottom yoke, to the front of the nose cone, or does your tank act as the top of the air box, just wondering which is the best way to go. cheers.
