Good news from me

Hi Zak
You will save your self a lot of expense by staying away from the iron barrels, and save a lot of money by testing the "real deal" barrel, you can can not transfer data from one set up to the next directly, so you must be careful.
Iron barrels are prone to seizure without special modification (see Pete Tibbitt's barrel) the technology is not easy to sort out, and then if you get thin above the exhaust port it will distort... result.. more seizure. The iron is very hard to work with too.
Go for the alloy barrel every time.
I use a cranked inlet from a YZ250 and that then lets the carb miss the frame, and get a good gulp of air without the frame in the way, a good technique.
Cheers,
Alan
