Thanks for the advice.  Its refreshing to find a forum where it isn't filled with a bunch of hacks that know less than I do lol (because I am no master mechanic but I pay attention to detail and take my time). 

I plan to remove the plastics while I do my testing/tweaking and then I will figure out what to cut or not to cut once I have everything dialed in.  When I used to have the zilla I ran cut plastics in the front and no plastics in the rear.  I liked the "fuselage" look.






I honestly don't have the most experience jetting, so my buddy's father is going to come help me jet it right.  He was the head of the service department at a RER, a powersports dealership here in CT for 20+ years and now focuses on motor builds under his own business "Chugs Moto Performance."  Always nice to have a master mechanic in your back pocket.  He works out of a shop built in his home these days so if I am working on something I am not sure about, he lets me throw it on the lift in the second bay of his shop and when I get stuck or have a question he helps me along.  I guess no different than in most dealerships where one or two guys know what they are doing and they help the junior mechanics...  I have a pretty good size tool collection and it continues to grow, but he has everything.
