With the boondocker there is absolutely no reason to have carbs anymore as you can make the adjustments to the EFI far easier then a carb. They are just as responsive and have a lighter throttle pull. Go with a 2.5 degree timing key, Vforce3 reeds, BMP Pipe Mod, and a boondocker. Ditch all the sound deadening material to loose some weight. If you have a 05 or 06 add a HRP relocaton bracket and have your shocks revalved I had mine done by ShockTech and they did a excellent job. The Oles 3" riser puts the bars at a perfect height. Hope that helps.

There is no difference between a throttle body injection efi system and a carburator in how the engine itself is designed. Cat dropped the carbs because they can't consistently meet EPA regs in all temp and elevation condtions with a carb. A carb might run right on any given day if its been tuned to that exact temp and elevation but when you change 3000ft of elevation and 30degrees throughout a day the EFI is going to perform consistently throughout all thoose ranges but hey thats just my opinion. There was a few people making carb conversions for the efi cat sleds might look into that as the new 800 and 1000s don't come in carbed and they only made 700 carbeds in 06 and I know very few dealers even ordered them. Sorry not much help if you do find a carbed for sale it should be cheap most dealers in my area won't even trade in a carbed sled anymore or if they do it will be for 1000 less then a efi sled.

Sorry I wasn't trying to start anything and sorry I said anybody was smoking anything just trying to say the the engine itself porting, crank, bore and stroke, ect ect are all the same between a carb and efi engine there are no differences in the way the mechanics work. They just bolt on a carb rack or a throttle body and acording electronics CDI or ECU depending on which system. They is no engine designing differences unless you start going to SDI or DI. There is no reason a Performance shop can't unbolt the throttle bodies from a 1000 or 800 and bolt on some custom Carbs and a MSD or someting on that order ignition and not make it work the engine themselves are the same which back in 03 several were doing on big bore and piped F7s cause the controller boxes hadn't been perfected yet.

I guess I get frustrated with all the people locally over the years that tried to claim a Carb will make more HP then a EFI. If both are set correctly they will make equal HP plain and simple. Also i've rode over 1000ft elevation swings many times in WY and MT and had friends with carbed sleds that were switching jets through out the day or ran horrible in town and great once we got up higher or vice versa depending how they were set. But thats all just my opinion I'm not trying to change what you should buy thats your money just trying to say that there are no downfalls to an EFI that some people say that all ended with the better ECUs back in 03 that fixed the throttle responce problem. A boondocker works just like tuning a carbed sled you just don't have to use any wrenches and no extra jets to carry around or clips to move. Sorry if I upset anyone. I'll try and be more polite in the future.
