since you dont need to jet up with the WB pipe... (shows how much power it dont give!!!!) id still say around 157.5 to 160

Who ever told you that you dont have to jet for the WB is full of it.. Took some trial and error to jet this thing with the WB and as far as power I can say that it gave it some very decent power.. smokes piped shees

Hey Bro it helps to say what jetting specs you have now.

But, That dont make much sense if he is running a pipe and NO AIR BOX, and CLAMP ON:confused: if the Guy lives at Sea level and does these mods, then he would have to be running VERY FAT to start with. REGARDLESS of Altitude.....

Most Quads Come from the factory already lean to begin with ,so the model will DEF. Pass emissions. Increasing the intake with changing the air filter alone, is enough to make you rejet heck, we had to go up 7 pilot on ours and adj. the float...:huh
IF your quads is jetting is the same,BEFORE and AFTER, you put those mods on, You have no power gain.
To gain power(torque ect) you HAVE to increase the fuel flow AND the airflow .If your Running EXTREMELY Fat, that will lean your bike out, and if your lean,and you do those mods,your gonna cook it.........
As far as the dealer is ... I SHOCKED:eek2: you cant get any power gains from those mods by doing nothing........Hope this helps some........;)

tina you aint tellin me anything i dont know.. and i also was surprised when i was told that if i bought the WB pipe that i didnt need to re-jet.. made no sense to me.. then i called WB myself and asked what kind of gains this pipe gave.. they guy laughed and told me that it gave 1-2 HP. i laughted back and asked him if he was serious.. and sure enough.. he was...
now i aint sayin what it does or doesnt do... but ive seen a few with that pipe.. and i was not impressed.

The WB pipe livens up the Pred motor a heck of a lot more than 1 horsepower.

I have the clamp on filter and the pure polaris pipe on my predator. My jetting is a 170 main jet and a 50 pilot. I live at sea level and the jetting seems right on. no poping and pulls hard. Don't forget to drill out the brass plug and set your screw out about 2.50 turns. my needle has the clip up one notch. (richer) Try these settings it should be close.
