Dirtwheels did a review on it, I think it was last months issue. They said it worked pretty well, especially if you change elevations quite frequently.

They definately work. We use them here on the Dyno to to "clean" up the air fuel curve. I don't know if you will feel any performance difference, but it may keep you from leaning out at a lower elevation. Definately get it tuned on the Dyno. Some companies recommendations are not even close to what they should be for every quad. It's kind of scary.

If you're planning to re-jet anyway, I would recommend it. The good thing is that once it's installed, you don't have to open up the carb for future upgrades or drastic elevation changes. You can turn the dial and adjust the jets in seconds.

We use both a "Kit" and "DAJ", since we have the Dyno available to do our tuning we use all off the parts (IE: Jets, Needles, DAJ) to get the quads spot on. If you have the option, the Dyno is the only way. For example, I did one last week, a Predator, that had a slip on, filter and cut air box. This was already tuned by the slip on manufacturer (BIG company). It was soo lean at points my air fuel equipment wouldn't even read it. When I was finished, it picked up 2.2 additional HP and was safe in the AF department. Be careful.
