Awesome! BTW I was the one posting the questions on the YouTube videos about gearing and which exhaust you have.

So about 10-11 seconds with the 250 and 6-7 seconds with the 351. That seems pretty good to me. Stock gearing?

If so that's a pretty darn good improvement! I know mine woke up quite a bit.

I had mine out today... first time in several months. I just put the TM34 pumper carb on it so I had to give it a test ride. Feels even snappier! I think it'll need just a little fine-tuning, but it's very close.

No I went down to a 13 and if I was going to use it on the road a lot I would put the 14 back on. 6th gear has grunt from 50 - 88 but it is pretty buzzy. .

A pumper carb is on my radar but not my wifes after the 351 $$.
How much does it help the power delivery?

I agree, I went back to the 14 since I do more street...but I'm starting to miss the pep of the 13 ...that's why sprocket changes are easy right?

Biggest impact was throttle response-when you hit the gas the response is immediate. The CV delays a bit compared to the pumper. The 36mm may add a bit of power compared to the CV.

Very hard to see the speedo on the 1st run, but I timed about 9.5 and 7.5.
Of course that's to an indicated 60, which on my speedo = 55MPH.

The mid range power does seem more potent on the (dirt) vids and it seems to make the rider noticeably better!

Also on the last street run I still had a dirty air filter. The guy I ride with all the time has a 500exc and while his bike blows my doors off still at least he is not checking out with my new and improved power!
