I've seen lots of recommendations for rejetting stock carbs for simple stage 1 upgrades, but not for 95" builds with headwork and cams.
I've got an 04 FXST that I'll be building shortly, with headwork and Andrews 37G cams. My exhaust is Samson Big Guns II Long Slashers (I know, I'd do better with a good 2-1) and I have a big sucker installed.
When I installed the pipes, I also rejetted the carb at that time, using the Dynojet kit. I installed it as per their instructions, replacing the needle, shimming as directed and replacing the main jet with the supplied 180 jet. I've also replaced the slow jet with a 48.
What, if anything will I need to do with the carb after the build? I do plan on getting it dyno tuned, but would like to set the carb up as close as possible to correct initially, so that I can run through the post build break-in period before the dyno run, without worrying if I am running too lean.
The Dynojet instructions indicate a 185 main valve with cams and a 195 if there are "internal motor modifications". Can I simply replace my main jet with the 195 and be good?
Also, if I do replace my exhaust with, say, a V&H Pro Pipe, after the build, would the jetting change again, due to the different pipe?
Gracias.
