    you can make one easy enough .
    also i see why the lectron comment . but i rekon if you bought a lectron you would say " its defenitly more than twice as good as a torque wing"

    Highdez installed an Inteli-jet (I think Thunder Products) on his 430CR built for the sand dunes. Look in the build threads for his comments on the product.

    Can't see why they not work. Makes a big carb think it is smaller for more low end. But then it remembers it is a big carb.
    I would try one!
    I you give me some time. I gonna fool around with these VM's to see what I can get out of them.
    Gonna try several wing designs, polish the insides, oval bore them, then play with slides and needle tapers.

    Here is my Tmxx 38 off my old Husky 144 that I ported at home.

    First, Figured out what the best wing design was for this carb. Then I oval bored it to 40mm.
    Then when up in slide sizes to add more air, then cut my own needle for a fast throttle with no hits in it.

    So this carb thinks it's a 36 mm one on bottom end, and a 40mm on top end.

    vm mikuni are a legend, great carb. having one taper bored would im sure help, the divider wing i could also see helping. if thats something someone wants to play with, they will likely be rewarded with an improvement. the problem with lectron is i now own one...

    IDK Dicks racing in the US calls it key hole boring smaller at the bottom bigger at the top it sure sounds like it should work i would think that a key holed lectron with a wing would be the ultimate i said this before and every body thought i was nuts :excuseme:

    lectrons are taper bored stock, not sure what the advantage of the key hole would be. im guessing it would mess with the metering rod atomization...

    I have spoke to Lectron at length about bores and wings and other carb tricks and they say they have tried them all and little or no advantage to most that stuff and their carbs. wet flow dyno and do a lot of testing.
