this aint what you hope for.

the engines are designed to run properly  at sealevel or up a few thousand feet.

a high altitude jet kit will actually lean out the engine.

think about it ...less oxygen  further up you go .so engine requires less fuel not more.

thats why the folks climbing the high mountains carry oxygen bottles.

so unless the kit comes with an adjustable nozzle your in for a scorched engine.

bottom line is you wont find any manufacturer coming up with any legal way of selling you somthing to richen up your engine.

very large fines involved in that.

im with Richie on this one .

we set snow engines to the max rated rpm.and we use one of those point and squirt tachometers good for at least 20 grand and accurate to 10 of rpms .i have noted that as little as 50 rpm will make quite a difference with the distance of thrown snow.sombody posted earlier what we call this but i already forgot what it was.

my memory is going now i guess...maybe it has somthing to do with those spook friends of Marshall
