Hi, Ernie -

After half a million dyno runs, Jack Roe developed a formula for desnorkeled

airboxes and race pipe: 152.5 mains, 17.5 pilots, two shims (.040") under
the 
needle, pilot screw at 2.5 (I think). He later recanted and recommended the 
stock 15 pilots and 3 turns. He also recommended drilling out the bleed hole
in 
the slide, but that didn't seem to make any difference on my bike.

It turns out that the desnorkeled airbox is a bad choice for a street bike -
big 
flat spot at 5K or so. Maybe it works for a racebike - others can surely
tell you.

I have my own preferred settings for a street bike, but you're interested in

your racebike I assume...
