Last year my sled ran at right around 10.9/1 AF ratio with the stock main jets (135) and number 15 pilots. With everything else the same, what do you guys think i'd get for a change if I drop the main's one size (next down is 132.5).

The pitot system on the Bender kit only provides the finest of tuning. I can run a 200 or 900 jet in that thing and only see a small change in AF.

My guess - 11.2
 
Yea i find it hard to get enuff in mid range. I have my needles all the way up!

But 11.2 sounds right or 11.5

I guess I will give them a shot. My problem right now is I am about to do the float bowl update and cannot decide if I should try the smaller jets or not. I'll put them in and find out I guess!

I agree with what LakeRcr said....about 11.2......that being said, that is still pretty rich. I believe in staying on the rich side but you might want to shoot for upper 11's so you might go to 130 instead. I have mine at about 11.7 at low boost and can turn it up to 12 psi and it is right on at 12.3 with my current jetting. Just my $.02

Travis,

I am just about done adding my powderlites front mount (gt25) 12lb good fuel and have been getting suggestions on what to run for jets around sea level. I will be in Michigan and up to Ottawa this winter and I think I'm between 300 and 600 feet most of the time. I was told to start at 145's. This sounds pretty heavy if you are looking to go down from stock. What are your thoughts?

The Bender kit uses a slightly diffrent way to charge the float bowls with air, so you cannot really compare our main jet sizes.

I think 145 sounds like a good place to start. I'll report my findings as soon as there is snow...
