i haven't talked to many people that just did the carb work. most people i talked too installed other motor mods at the same time. however, rico just got his carb bored and he said there was a gain. i have been told that rocky ridge does the exact same thing for $125 instead of sparks price of $175. i personally am waiting for the fcr.

ya I would run my Sparks FCR but it's loaned out to a racer and now the dude went to State Police academy and won't be home till April. I don't want to just roll up at his folks house and yank the carb so...

I agreed to pick up the Spark's modded ex carb from a member here and figured on some better throttle response and maybe a tad more performance to satisfy till the spring.

Just wanted some advice ahead of the install on the goods bads and areas of concern.
