Pods & Jets

[Steve Northrop]

I've said this before, but what you are buying in a jet kit is the needles. 
You can buy pods, pilot jets and main jets separately from anyone. Without a 
good needle, you will never get the midrange right. I would not recommend 
installing pod filters without a performance exhaust.
