hi im going to to tune a fzr 400 3tj for racing and was wondering if does the thundercat carbs fit and are the any good? or does anyone no were I could buy my parts apart from bdk.

The inlet rubbers and therefore the carba are an elongated circular hole.
The 3jt CV carbs aren't too bad though, most people use a base on the fuel tank to form an airbox. Then a snorkel to the front fairing and put on a set of belmouths on.

If your going racing its easier to buy a racebike than convert a road bike.

The 600 rubbers bolt onto the 400 head ok but you'll have to elongate the inlets as EC says, although it's not as big a job as it sounds- there's probably around 4mm of material either side that needs to be removed and you won't need to remove material all the way down, probably 10-15mm down and blend it back into the original shape of the 400 inlet.

It's probably easier, but also more expensive, to buy a race bike that a road bike but on the other hand if you convert a road bike at least you know how the thing has been put together! I've had some shockingly badly screwed together road bikes

What do you mean full system ram air?

BDK Racing produce a ram air kit for the 3TJ - it can help a tuned engine breath a bit better.
