I totally think it's bull. I had a stock carb that was bored to 35.5 and it didn't perform near as good as the 39pwk. The 39 has way more power and the throttle response is most noticeable attribute of this carb.The stock carbs throttle response is terrible compared to the 39 when modded. I've heard that the 39 stomps all over the 38tmx carb. I personally couldn't say.

Well..................Hello NC, glad to hear from you.
The PWK carb is so much simpler to tune than a TMX. In my honest opinion I wish they wouldnt even build the TMX, the regular TM does a fine job and is also easy to tune. To say you can get as much power out of a stock bored carb as the pwk is a load of bull. Like duneaholic said the throttle response is absolutely amazing.
