So, Im trying to get a grip on this venting a Viper airbox to the atmosphere, as my Viper currently is.
I know it takes a much leaner jet than if its vented to the airbox.
The sled has SLP pipes and has 156.3 mains, 45 pilots, clip pos 3.
I have never ridden this sled at all. Thats how it was when I got it.

SLP says a 162.5 main jet in their instructions, but have read that may be a bit rich, so Im thinking of a 160 main.
Wondering what the equivalent is if not vented to the airbox.
I have seen people say its 10 points leaner, so like a 150 main.

Also, does the vent affect just the main jet, or is it all the carb circuits?
 

Yep, just wondering if someone has a more precise formula for this.
Example: if you use a 162.5 main when vented to airbox, use a 150 main when vented to atmosphere

I would think mostly main jet as there isn't much vacuum created in the airbox until full throttle.
