:agree: I have to agree with you Bly, I put in V-Force 2's and it seemed to me that the throttle response was better, however, we make so many changes, clutching, jetting etc, what really makes the difference. Most of the HP gain from what I gather is a few ponys in mid-range but the throttle response has to help ya pull'in it out of the chute. The only way to really do an analysis is to run the sled with the stock reeds and then change them out, NO OTHER CHANGES.

When I changed to Boyesen reeds I thought they made my sled run a little crisper and the throttle response was a little better, but at the time my old reeds had over 8000 miles on them so I probably would have gotten the same gains simply replacing with another set of stockers.
