Assuming that Keith Craft built and dyno'ed Dan's engine, I would think the carbs that were originally installed are still there, though they were leaking. The numbers from the rear wheel dyno that Dan did recently (550 RWHP) appear to support the flywheel dyno numbers (apprx. 720 HP) that were done when "otomix" purchased the engine from KC.

So, my unsupported speculative opinion is that the carbs weren't changed and that any tuning done was to get the carbs to work like they did when they left KC's shop at the time the engine was originally built.
