The company makes big claims. Looks like it should help.

Before. Turbulence from the shape of the underside of many round slides.

Quote.Normal gains are 3/4 to 1 HP per 100 cc of engine displacement on 4 stroke engines and 1 1/2 to 2 HP per 100cc of engine displacement on 2 stroke engines. (Re-jetting and tuning may be required).

Sooo, 7-9 extra horsies, nice.
When will you try it, Tony? ;)

That's a big claim, (and with VM carbs). The solution does make sense however.

I'd try a TM flatslide first as they cost about the same price as a VM with that gadget.  ;D I think that if you already had VM carbs, they are a good idea.
