What jet combination did you end up with, correctors, airs mains, etc?
I had a little overlap but I doubled up on the gaskets and that lined them up nicely. I know, this may not be best practice but I was impatient and didn't want to spend the season grinding instead of driving : ) I may do the port-matching come winter.

I have yet to pop the main jet/E tube/corrector assy. open. I just fiddled with the idle jets, which were 70s, and ended up with 60s, and the mixture screws just under a full turn out. She's humming right now so I haven't touched anything more...I may need the next richer main as I get a very slight burp at a steady 4000 RPM.
