Default Killer bee venturi mod

Ok...so I got my Killer bee backplate and I'm ready to drilll it out to handle the Black Widow Cylinder I want to install for more power. Any ideas as to how much to drill this out as it is a tiny hole in the fuel/throttle tube? Perhaps it doesn;t need to be drilled at all? I know the tank versions drill out to 11/64" but that would be far to big for this application. Anyone try this type of mod? One thing I should mention...I got the backplate from JKAerotech so for all I know it could be already set up. I'm not trying to mod a surestart backplate. Never fear...next email is to JK Aerotech.

Thanks for your help,

Rob

Rob,

DO NOT DRILL the backplate due to the Black Widow cylinder. The KB's cylinder....including the current model is better than a #1 Black Widow cylinder.

later,
Tim

The tiny holes in a KB backplate will support 30,000 rpm, are you trying for 40?
