Reeds and spacers give you more torque in different areas depending on the application. The spacers are pretty much just going to give you bottom end, which you need on a blaster. The reeds will give you bottom and mid-range. The delta force are expincive for the horse power gain. You'de probably be better off with a carbon-fiber replacment reed. They're only about 40 bucks and you'll be able to tell a difference. When you replace them cut the rev plate off just in front of the screw holes. That will make a load of difference on mid range torque. You also might have to bring your throttle needle up a groove. Hope this helps you out.

These are about the 2 worst ways to get extra power. Pipes, milled head, advanced timing, K&N filter will all do more for you.

You should be able to do all this your self. Go to your carb take it out of the rubber boot it sits in. Remove the boot and your reeds will be right there. just pull it out and put the new one in. Its very simple.

I didn't ask for your opinion, JohnWayne. Go away.

My point is that for the money there are better ways to get performance from the Blaster. Reeds and spacers are not a good way to gain performance. These are not proven HP adders. V force reeds may give a LITTLE bit of power but not worth the money.
