he is scared of it, lol
i have a 48 lectron also, havent put it on yet, but i rode CR's bike with his and i freaking loved it. i thought it worked very well with his set up. you can feel it spool up, almost like a turbo kicking in. this was drag racing tho. i would take off and then a sec or 2 later you could feel it pulling to the moon, front end was down when i started and then all the sudden it was standing straight up on me when that thing started sucking the air in.

...and that is why I didn't like it.  It killed the instant low end power and throttle response that Zillas are known for.  I had to wait for the spool up.  I think it might just be the fact that the intake velocity is lower due to the large diameter tract.

I am not saying they are bad carbs and I am not trying to talk anyone out of using them.  I just didn't like what it did to the low end of the power curve.  The traits I did not like followed the carb from my Dad's Zilla with a V1 pipe to mine with a V2 so, it was the carb causing the laggy power... I talked to Dennis Packard about the set up.  He said I had the right metering rod and recommended a starting length.  It didn't help.  Richer and leaner adjustments to the rod length didn't help...

I did love the ease of adjustment though.  I wish it would have worked out.
