You will have to rejet for sure. You have a 118 now, I would say try a 180-185 somewhere around there.

I'm near St. Louis. About 535 feet about sea level. It's in the 80's today.

I have a dynojet 180 in mine. I have a whitebrothers full system and airbox lid off with the air/fuel screw turned out 2 1/2 turns. I ride at sea level and up to about 4500 feet with no problem.

i removed my spark arrestor for the dunes this weekend also. noticed more bottom end. how much more power from opening up the airbox and rejetting the main, running without the baffle?

At least 5hp-7hp gain on the dyno:)

We've had success with taking the spark arrestor out, removing the lid, and jetting up to a 180-185 main jet. Its nothing like putting a slip-on or full exhaust on.....and shouldnt be a permanent thing because it sounds like crap but its a quick fix for a couple HP. We've also put the HRC end cap on the latest '05 TRX i'm building and did the same thing as far as jetting....it ran better also but still sounds like crap. The HRC end cap looks a lot cooler than the factory crap. Oh well, there will be SPARKS flying from that quad soon enough in the exhaust department :devil:
