So your saying NOT to go adjustable. Then just go with a slightly larger jet for this. I should think 150?
Yes I searched around and saw your posts regarding the lose packing reports. Also found several reports of the discoloration on the Supertrapp's (saw more reports of those than Jardine). I see some dino results showing a bit more preformance out of the Supertrapp's and that might explain the more frequency of discolorations if people did not rejet. I am about to conclude the Jardine is closer to stock in its backpressure (and unchangable) as is... so it may be a tad easier to get by without rejetting. Which might explain my dealers reports from users not rejetting.
Yep, Clemson isn't that far away....been there many times, and since I also ride the Parkway, I can assure you that a single jet change will be just fine for your altitude and also the highest peaks over 6K feet. My spouse is running a 152 main with her Trapp.
As for a dealer's perspective on what is good for a Savage....all that I can say is BS. How many times do people buy a used Savage that has a blued pipe? We hear it all the time on the forums, but what percentage of Savage riders (of all the Savages sold) actually visit these forums? My guess is that the majority of the dealer installed mufflers go out the door and never return...they end up parked, wrecked, traded, or sold and the dealer doesn't really get any feedback anyway. Most riders are new to the sport and don't even know if they have a problem when the pipe blues.....so I just don't think that a dealer is the best judge of what is good. We are 8)
I like the Trapp and some like the Jardine. I can't say anything bad about it and everyone has their own opinions and tastes. If you want a Trapp without loosing back pressure, then just install 6 disks instead of 8 and see if it runs as you like it. Then you might only need a 150 main. My spouse's has 14 disks and she runs a 152 and a "1/2 spacer".
Oh, and don't forget to use the copper anti-sieze on those stainless bolts liberally....
