Great info Crosstie.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Here's my FINAL
setup. No dyno, but I put about 700 miles on it this weekend and I'm completely satisfied with everything except the small throttle/low RPM operation.
Model: 2000 Thunderbird (standard)
Carbs: Keihin CVK
Airbox: K&N in stock airbox w/ almost the entire back hacked out (will add photo later)
Exhaust: Thunderbike 3 into 1
Cams: 955 Sprint
Ignitor: 95 Speed Triple, 9,700 redline IIRC
Advance: Factory Pro Ignition Advance Rotor +4 degrees
Main Jets: 140
Needle: Factory Pro, center notch
Float Height: 17.5mm
Pilot Jets: 40
Air/Idle Screws: 2 turns (plan on experimenting more when I buy the tool)
Notes: It was dyno'd a few days earlier at 84.6 rwhp with the following differences: 142.5 mains & needles on 4th notch down. With that setup, it was slightly rich across the board with a big, very rich spot at 5.5k.
