Any one had any experience with these reeds.
I have heard lots of good stuff about em ,so I thought I'd try them.
Had to Jet up a few sizes but they made a big difference to the performance.

I didn't think they were still in business. They were stating some very ridiculous performance gains and sledders were not buying into it. Post some reports on the performance gains that you optained with your new reeds.

Same here. I remember hearing of some guys that got them and hated them . Never noticed any of the gains the company said they would.

I'm still trying to get them dialed in properly.
I have gone from running 500 main jets with my stock reeds, to 580 main jets with the Wolf Packs and I am still running a bit lean at -10C.
They claim to save you like 1 - 3 gallons per tank full of gas.
Not sure how with jetting up, I guess they must be flowing more air than stock, cause runs real lean with stock jetting even at -5C.
Any one have any tips on hpw to tune these things I'm open to sugestions.

if they are pulling more air they will pull more fuel as well. you should have had to jet down not up.

I thought that if you are still pulling through the existing carb then a higher flowing reed would pull an equal amount of both air and fuel, there-by not changing the air-fuel ratio received in the crankcase?? Yes? No?

I thought the idea of after market reeds was quicker, more precise opening and closings?? To deliver the same fuel air mixture quicker, more precise? I could be wrong, Id like to know though!!

I thought the same thing. By changing reeds you would not think that you would have to do a major tune up.

I thought the same thing. I put Boyesens in my 01 700. All i noticed was better throttle response. I was able to leave the stock jetting alone.
Maybe you should have spent the money on a Cudney Head/Shim kit instead!
