I had my stock carbs line bored from 26's to almost 29's and the rifled effect was a by-product. The shop that did my carbs does alot for snomobile owners, many of whom race, and the rifling is a desired option for the race crowd. I can't really say if that had much effect since the carbs draw larger amounts of air now...... to many variables between air volume and jetting changes to really say if the spiral effect had anything to do with the performance of my Banshee or not. I will say that it does have a better hit in the top end, and with more tuning I think it will pull harder through the entire range.....
