I'm glad to see someone else feels the same way....
I honestly love playing around with jetting, and fine tuning carbs by sound-sight-feel....
and yes, then there's the reliability part of it...I'm all set with being stranded 30-40 miles from home from an EFI failure as well.
I'm sure the more you guys play around with the option...the better the odds will be of having no EFI failures, and my hat's off to all of you that are putting in the time and money to get it right! 8-)

vagassasson:
So if I did order this kit what would you guys recommend for a throttle body size?

sandblaster:
It would depend on what your trying to tune for, woods, desert, supermoto.. And what pipe, port timing, head configuration, ect.

vagassasson:
Or I could have the best of both worlds and just have an insert made for a larger thottle body that would neck it down for different riding types
