Another thing that I found with the wrap, the super heated exhaust gas, stays heated longer, and the velocity of the exhaust lasts longer and scavenges the cylinders more efficiently. Generally speaking you'll have to up your carb jets about 2 sizes, or you'll have a lean condition, also causing your engine to produce more heat.
