It will add 1 hp to the rear wheel on a completely stock KX500.. That is dyno confirmed.
Also faster throttle response.

Thank you sandblaster and everyone else especially with the JD jetting kit already installed on the air Striker.. I did read that article which is why it went to the top of my list. I just wanted to confirm that it was also reliable and more easily adjusted. I'm not as much concerned about the one horsepower as better trail riding capabilities and ease of jetting. Also low RPM Performance that is better than stock would be great as well. Just looking for something really basic and reliable. Sounds like the air Striker with the JD jetting kit is the way to go. probably going to order one tonight. Anybody have any recommendations for what I tell JD jetting? I was going to buy the carburetor online and just put the bike I have the average elevation, the average temperatures and list the bolt ons that I have and I'm assuming the guys will take care of it? Or does anybody recommend calling them to place my order instead?

I think I'm going to buy the air Striker from JD jetting. Your article mentions blocking off some of the ports or vents of the newer air Striker?

I believe I called and talked to them directly to place my order.

I found a 38mm AS for sale locally but it is the "short" version. While I would love a ahorter airhorn for removal reasons im woried my airbox might not reach it or maybe pull loose while riding if i have to strech it.
