I've seen "carb inserts" that you put into the intake side (air boot side) of the carb to change the venture.  In my opinion anything you stick into the venture will take up space that air could be moving through.  Bigger opening equals more volume of air.  I would have to say thumbs DOWN.  Read their overview, I think 2 smaller ventures moving faster equals the same or near same volume of air without the "Scary Fast Power Now" device.  Maybe it makes your bike faster because you wallet weights less.

Yeah,it?s good for MX/Enduro and trailriding with stock 39mm PWK,it?s smoothing out and runs cleaner.I use "POWERBLADE" #PB02 for KTM 125SX,hate to write that brand. :-D

Albertan:
I'm running this insert, and I did find that it made a positive difference. I did find that the bike felt more crisp and responsive at partial throttle settings.  At full throttle, there is no difference, and if you were either at idle or wide open, I don't think you'd notice a difference.  But, if you can ride a KX-500 wide open all the time and never have partial throttle openings, you are my hero (and your last name is Lechein or Ward).
