Always use USPS Priority when you can. It is the best, reasonable and usually two days.

If you need quick service to Canada, use a couriour (DHL, UPS etc.) You will get screwed on brokerage fees, but you will get the goods way quicker than USPS/Canada post combination. The mail takes a minimum of 10 days from Mid-US to Mid-Canada for just about any reasonably sized box. You can count on 5 days for UPS ground with the same box.
...I do this all the time.
If you can get the shipper to specify the broker of your choice on the paperwork, the fee is usually ~$25 (compared to the $60-70UPS charges). You can find a broker in the phone book, and I use Milne and Craighead.
 

UPS works great for me, difference is that my stuff is going from US to Norway not Canada. Shipping time is 6 days, 2 days for stuff to enter Customs in Norway, then four days with our national postal service. Customs may delay shipment a bit.
 
I have found on a number of occasions ordering stuff from the USA that it is constantly UPS that comes up with the extreme prices on bringing stuff up here. I wont use them for that reason. DHL is a lot better than UPS for shipping stuff up to Canada. The mail services is the cheapest way to go and usually only take around 10 to 14 days but this is almost a month now.
 
never use parcel post going to canada. Air parcel is reasonable and 3-10 days and Express is only 3-5 days.

Let us know when you get it. Should be fun to see.

DHL has a service in the US called DHL-Global Mail.
On export shipments, the yellow truck makes the pick-up and they move the goods to the Can-US border where Canada Post picks it up and delivers it. It is reasonable and the best part is no brokerage (you still get the regular $5 handling fee that Canada Post charges).
I've had stuff sent to me this way and it's also good, but you still need the 10+ working days....same as the USPS/Can Post.
 
I wish I would have known about these options earlier I could have this in my hands by now. Using the HP calculator on the site this should give me 10 extra HP now with the cr10ek plugs and a little more jetting I am hoping for 15 HP. Then it will be time for some clutching.
 
When this is set up and on the sled there is bound to be less air restriction prior to the eram kicking in. How much or should a guy jet up and would it be worth to change springs? Everything is stock on carbs right now.
 
i dont know the size of the intake, but i found the stock airbox to work better with 137.5 jets, you will have to do some testing, plug readings, but dont be afraid to feed it the fuel.
 
Rod what about using fuel enrichment jets like Holtzman uses- you adjust them yourself, easy to install, you need a solenoid but thats easy enough. I personally dont think you are going to need all that, but I am sure they would work.
 
Less restriction in air filter calls for larger main jets. With less vacuum differential due to less restriction in your air box you need larger mains to feed enough fuel at WOT. A set of softer carb springs will also help, there are less vacuum to lift the slids.
 
we run 125-127.5 with 6-8 lbs boost at altitude, I think you are ok with 135

(I think you are expecting too much out of your hamster cage buddy)
