The UFO,s are supposed to help throttle responce.I,ve never run them but if Dale says waste of time I,d tend to believe him with all the testing/tuning he,s done.

When I bought and setup my vm44, I bored it to 46mm and put the UFO in it right off the bat. There really doesn't seem to be any way to get it tuned right on the bottom end with the UFO in it. It is pig rich and lazy. I primarily just drag race the zilla, so I have tolerated it. If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn't have ever messed with the UFO. One of these days I'm going to get a new slide and start over again on tuning it.

Dale or Jerry, do you guys think the slide could be salvaged after being modified to accept a UFO? I could plug the bolt holes easy enough, but I'm afraid the cutaway would never be right.

If running a UFO you need to run a smaller pilot, that could be your rich issue off the bottom.  I put that stuff way back on the shelf after testing and don't recall the exact recomendations but we did go through all that during testing. I was disappointed, in theory it should have been an improvement.  BUT it didn't hurt anything.
 As far as the slide, yes plug the holes..JB weld or something..if the cutaway hasn't been modified shouldn't be an issue. 
 I like running the Aluminum slides..buy for about $80 I believe from Sudco.  The 2.5 cutaway is what I'm running on my stuff.

Jerry is out for a couple days.. don't think you'll see a response from him till next week.
