you need 2 main jets, 2 pilot jets.....4 #4 washers....

i asume you have the aftermarket canister and a pod filter....also you will need a drill and a thin drill bit

I have the K&N pod and holes drilled in the stock can.  I am up to 145 main jets and will probably end up higher (tuning by drag time).

Jetting will vary, you will be able to get *close* by just "buying 140's" or whatever.  To get it spot-on you will probably need to buy a few steps of jets and do it once or twice.  It's actually quite easy, I don't even have to pull the carbs to change the jets now.

So my best bet would be to probably just buy jkstyle's stuff and give it a try?

OK if its the lunch box pod... 1 pod goes over both carbs and no air box, you'll need 150 mains and 40 pilots. 127.5 is for K&N pod in the air box.
Cool.

V8Pinto...how do you change the jets without taking the carbs off?
