20% more power
Has anyone tried these? I have a friend that told me about these. He says he has friends that swear by them. For both carburated and EFI. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.

RE: 20% more power
20% more power? With a carb job? Think of it this way:
Assume a stock motor does maybe 50 honest horses.
Air/fuel in, exhaust/air out = headers
A better fuel mix and burn = cam and valve job (5 angle)
Compression makes power = head work
More compression requires better ignition = single fire, coil
Now, a really well done (exhaust, cam, ignition, heads) scoot can dyno 85 horses (increase of about 40% for an investment of about that $2500 mentioned earlier here).
My FXSTC has and S&S lower end, balanjced, Crane Hi-4 single fire and coil, Andrews EV 27 cam, Jims Big Axle lifters and adjustable pushrods, SE heads at 10:1 ported and polished, a CV carb that has been mosified well and a Yost Power Tube installed, a .20 over bore, Python II headers, and more...on dyno, it hits 92 horses (and stock hit 51)...41 added ponies is almost a double power increase...and a correwsponding vibration increase since the motor is rigid mounted (it's a 94 EVO).
Is it worth three grand? Personal call...but a VTX 1300 smokes this Softy. I love it, but....$$ and gain? I'd rather spend that on a 30 day scooter cross country ride at 50 horses!
A carb job may boost smoothness, but IMHO, ain't no way a 20% increase.
