Thanks. I still have brackets to fab but should be testing shortly after. I'll post some numbers, FWIW, I doubt that very many peole here have much use for it.

Jeremy Howdy Tim Not surprising that tuning to the exhaust gas improved your performance. A sign of a good shop and mech. I'm in the process of changing the carb on my KJS manifold and will probably use the exhaust to get it dialed in but I don't have any base line data to compare to. From the response I'm guessing that most on this list don't get that involved with tuning, probably because they don't have to. Ride safe.

Unfortunately, I don't recall what the numbers were (I think the front cylinder was .2 higher than the rear). I do know that most, but not all of the popping disappeared and the throttle was much more linear from idle to red line. Previous to the adjustment, it was like a turbo was kicking in at around 3500 rpm.
