thumbs up,
I also put the body in the air box so it reacts to the air the engine sees

you need to jet for -20*F for this to work properly by the instructions. you lean it down to whatever temps you encounter with the tempflow. the warmer it is the leaner the tempaflow makes your fuel flow. barry holtzman is a very intelligent man if he wanted you to jet for another temp to be safe he would put it in the instructions. if you jet it for any warmer you risk meltdown, it is not to say you cant jet leaner, but if you do, you are putting your motor and your pocketbook at risk by your thumb. read your plugs and piston wash it is the only way to avoid MR.

This is my sled.
(Mods I have done... 8AB with 2.4 in all holes, YSY Primary, 14.5 mm rollers, 50/40 helix, Green secondary twisted to 80 degree, Reed spacers modification, Single HD gasket, 2" hole in 1rst baffle of stock exhaust can.)
I kept my jets stock and it works perfectly. The plugs are always a light brown and the tempa flow is set right to the dot. I did run it a bit to the darker side but change it to the dot and they are much nicer looking.
The only problem with a tempa flow that I don't like is that if you stop for a pop just before a river, you won't be able to keep up with the boys when you take off. They say that you could do some damage. I do notice a big change after about 1/4 mile. It seems to come into itself and really works well.
If you don't mind the initial warm up after stopping for a pop, it really does work well.
Plugs are always a nice color. Doesn't matter how warm it gets.

So with the "issues" of hot air under the hood, and having to get rid of it before you resume normal riding speed, how will this effect me when i run in the local drags, will this hinder performance or worse cause lean out and failures............Reaper
when you drill a hole in your carb ,the line is hucked up to the hose from the fine adjustment screw placed in front of air box towards motor,remove hose to adjust screw,corect? and tea in back of air box ,between gas tank for air corect ,do u need to add a hose from the tea and place it some were else ,like up to your handle bars for outside air ,or no hose needed,cant make sence out of instructions ,need help.

Quite a few folks have put it under the handle bar pad with great results! Just run the lines and make sure nothing gets pinched.

Tempaflow
Okay guys, here's my Tempaflow experience. I had a 2000 SRX that I rode for 2 years completely stock. Then I heard about the Tempaflow and gave it a try. I can tell you IMO that with the SRX you are wasting your money on a Tempaflow. Those sleds are so forgiving with changes in temperature you will not notice a significant difference in mileage or performance. I ride with 5 other guys (all on SRXs) and I never saw a real change in mileage or performance from before to after compared to them. What I did manage to do, however, was burn down the first season I had it on. I was jetted up to 2001 main jet specs with my stock pilots and (unfortunately) my needles dropped one clip position from the middle. I should explain that I had dropped my needles right after I got the sled to clear up a midrange burble. I logged 4000 trouble free miles that way before the Tempaflow (w/ stock 2000 jetting). Anyway with the Tempaflow, the needles did me in after about 1000 miles - it popped coming from WOT down to 1/2 & then back to WOT. After getting things fixed back up I gave it another go with the same jetting and my needles in the middle. It was fine after that and I think I put another 3000 miles on with that setup in temps from -20 F to + 40 F with pretty consistent performance. Don't get me wrong, the product is excellent and definitely works as advertised but I think the SRX is just too consistent to see much benefit from it. I must be a glutton for punishment 'cause I'm thinking of putting that same Tempaflow my my CPR piped Viper this year and with that sled I think there might be some benefit since it's way more sensitive to temp changes than the SRX. Back to the original question - if you're putting it on a 2000 SRX make sure you jet up to 2001 specs (mains) and DO NOT lean it out in the midrange (drop needles) or you WILL blow up. Email me if you have any further questions. Sorry for the lengthy reply.

While having egts on my '01 srx w/cold air kit, my clutching/rpms would be way over or way under depending on the air temp. After putting on a tempaflow, the jetting stayed consistant. (jet it w/bigger mains and 1 step bigger pilots, needles in stock position). Then I could clutch it correctly. Before the tempaflow, I'd hit 80ish mph @7,800rpms, and the same day coming home hit over 100 easy but be revving near 9,000rpms. After the tempaflow, in extreme air temp changes was probably 8,350 plus or minus 100 rpms. I need my egts to tell me that the tempaflow is working correctly incase of ice or any possible malfunction. So far, no problems, excellent gas milage, and runs sweeeeeet. Two thumbs up (or three if your a guy).
