Default dial a jet on a TM carb

Has anyone tried a dial a jet on a tm 45 or 48, I'm getting ready for my next upgrade and after hearing how touchy the mikuni tm's are with temp. changes, I was wondering if the dial a jet system helped with the fine tuning. I would like to go with the lectron, heard lots of good reviews, but the mikuni's are closer to my price range, I don't know if I should wait until I have the funds for the lectron (next year) or try the mikuni??? My motor is screaming for more air flow, and I hate to hear it cry for to long, it's just killing me.

I talked to the guy at thunder products yesterday and said they have done many of these, but I've never heard of anyone trying it, he might have been stretching the truth to make a sale???

I think the dial a jet requires an air box and snorkel. I might be mistaken though.

I know one guy that has tried the dial-a-jet with a TM45. His forum name is Air. You could PM him, get his opinion.
He did it because he freqnetly has altitude changes in a single ride from 5K to 12K and back again.

In my experience, I can drop one main jet size for each 1500 feet of altitude change to maintain very close spot on jetting. If I have an altitude change during the course of a single ride, its not really that big a deal that I am a jet or two rich. Most people you come across out in the world that have not been to a dyno in the firstplace, are a couple jets off anyway. It hurts a drag race, but not really that big a deal on a trail ride.
