If I have the snorkel removed, a K&N filter and TBS needles for my America and I want to add Sceptre exhaust, what jets would I use? What works for you guys that have Sceptres?
Oh man!! I'm going to jail!!

Punch all that in to the jetting calculator.
Looks like 130s, altho I don't know your elevation. That calculater is pretty dern close, and a great place to start if nothing else.

Beat me to it Benny. 
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

I only ask because Brent says they ship with 122s and 45 pilots. I thought the 122s were kinda small, no?

Yeah... But re-do the calculator with 45s in there. I'd think Brent could send different jets if you asked, but I can't speak for him.

I certainly apologize for that, Frank. We've hired a couple new girls and that's a training issue that obviously I've let slip. Shoot me an email if we can help in any way.

I spent a lot of time debating on whether or not to mod my stock pipes drill out my air box but I think im going to just bite the bullet and I'm going to order the sceptres tomorrow along with the freak kit. Im guessing I'll put the 160 mains in, but do I use the 42 or the 45 pilot? Im only about 600ft above sea level, NJ.

I have 45s sitting on my bench, but so far the 42s are doing well. Stick with the 42s for now, and then run it for a bit, tweak the screws, etc. If you run out of adjustment on the screws, then go up.
