Was not sure where this link should post properly. Moderator please move to another area if not good here.

Thunder Products - Performance carburetor and clutching for snowmobiles, motorcycles and ATVs.

Airbox modifications affect carburetor jetting.

The above kind of restates and supports what has been said by Steve in SF and others in reference to the C10's airbox.

Interesting.

One of my hacks on the versys1000 is to change out the 2 short intake velocity stacks for 2 longer ones. There's a slight loss in peak hp, (about 1 hp) but the low rpm lighter to full throttle power gains makes that an absolute non - issue.
