Either will work - each has a favorite.

Positives going with Novi - RESALE is higher and immediate
- Tim will answer his cell or call you back anytime with any amount of tech help

Eds- freestyle guys love em' Market to sell is less than straight up NOVI's
Ed is more difficult to get ahold of and carbs are not as forgiving.

Every set of Novi's I've owned still commanded at least 75% of the original new cost in minutes. Again both will work. Novi's "ive" found are more consistant with RAD changes

I have not used either, but have always heard that Ed was pretty easy to get up with.......... who knows.

dont think you could co wrong with either.......... A close friend (pro Racer) uses Blackjacks and Novi's.. both do well for him.

Ed can be difficult to get a hold of at times, but he's mucho help when you do get him.
 
full spectrums will require little to no adjustment other than maybe a fraction of a turn when you receive them... Ed sends them out spot on and everyone who has run them on here will vouch for that.... novi makes a new product although time from novi split off and is doin the novi-tech thing now... seperate business from what i understand.. both have pros and cons

I've had NOVIs on a 750 and granted I did not take the time to get them right.

The Full Spectrums on the blaster carburate perfectly. Pulls almost as hard as F.I. and revs further.
 
I posted a reply over on PWCtoday.

Anyway, I have used them both, with great results. I race sport mod and have a Judge built 6mm Lamey powervalve motor. This motor has the exact same jetting it has had since the day we put it together two seasons ago. (with 48 full specs) And I have pulled nearly every holeshot since against other lamey blasters and plenty of 800 HXs. I think it comes down to who is setting up the carbs. A set of Novis not set up right aren't going to run worth a crap, and the same can be said for the Full Specs.

My suggestion, get whichever ones you can find the best deal on and spend the rest of your money on something else to help with your set up.
