Jet (Its Chris right?)
The reason I wanted to try this combo is because I had the opportunity to ride with Art Gomez of Jet works a while back. I know Art well. Art shows up with an old race ski that hit and pulled twice as hard as my ski.
My set up is; [OEM 701 (no porting) OEM Head (I don't know my Compression) from a 2010 SJ, Mod B pipe and OEM Taper bored dual 38's].
Art swore to me the ski he had was identical to mine except it had dual 44 Blackjacks. Since my racer friend already has the dual 44 blackjacks, which he will let me try out for free, I thought I would give it a go. Only thing is he doesn't have the manifold. Could it be I got spanked because my motor is just tired and not performing like it should? It has a lot of Hrs on it. What are your thoughts?
Your ski's performance results from tuning all of the individual components as a system
(or at least it should be). How well parts are matched and tuned as a system is the most important thing. Throwing one component at a ski isnt the way to go. You should have a plan.
Comparing 2 skis as identical except for the carbs is questionable.
Same ignitions and timing, props, nozzles, pipes, reeds, heads, etc., etc.??
Same pipe tuning, same compression and squish, same level of carb tuning, etc., etc.??
"My set up is"
OEM 701 (no porting) with OEM Head (I don't know my Compression) from a 2010 SJ
Mod B pipe
OEM Taper bored dual 38's
So if your motor is from 2010 SJ, then you have a std. 62t cases/61x cylinder with dual 38s setup?
Taperbored carbs with or w/o original verturi?
Carbs jetted and tuned properly for your setup?
What are your goals? I assume more low end power for surf riding not top end to keep up with race skis.
A/M head to raise compression and tighten squish is one easy way to increase power of your setup.
Ignition stock or timing advanced at all?
Stock reeds?
Properly matched and setup dual 44s can make great power but I was just questioning this mod as the best and most cost effective option for a basically stock ski.
