I don't remember the size drill but I do remember when picking up my jet kit, the parts guy saying....." you'll loose some of your engine breaking, you realise "..... he was referring to a negative consequence of drilling the slides. Now the bummer is - I think he was right, however I've had flatslides since 97 and can't really say I remember, for sure. So that's my rotten egg, lobbed into the fray - as it were... but maybe someone more expert than I is able to explain what 'goes on' when you 'drill that hole' - it wasn't much bigger as I recall (hic!), perhaps a smidge or so. Personally I think the only way to put a jet kit in is have it done by 'dyno bloke'. And I say that because you need evidence that the jet kit really worked - a before and after. The seat of the pants meter isn't even analogue, and dog forgive that you ever show the readout to anyone, other than your proctologist! Plus with the dyno printouts, you can stare at them for hours, lots of uses infact. They've got stuff on them, data and things - it's interestin', plus you can write notes on the back, what you had for breakfast etc..how it drives .... "it's wicked man, it's wicked".....plus you can show your mates over a beer or something. :-D
