    The carb was probably upjetted to suit the TNT filter...

    if you put the std box back on you"ll have to downjet again...which will of course mean better fuel economy ;)

    But check inside your carb 1st and see what jets in there!!!

    Thakey, just see what jets in there, do a plug chop and downjet a few sizes.

    It's probably been upjetted for the TNT filter as Dave said.
