is your head stock or milled any? if so you might want to alittle higher octane if its just stock you should be fine on the 94 jetting will stay the same i'd say,is there a reason you got those reed spacers? you usually only run those so your carbs clear if the are larger then stock

sell them both and use the money to buy yourself a adjustable timing plate for 35 bucks, the reed spacers do nothing unless you have huge carbs and need to clear the throttle arm and the timing keys are prone to shearing off and causing major damage to your motor

unless you plan on putting in a bigger crank and some porting adding those larger carbs isnt needed.

using stock motor and the spacers will be used for to clear mikuni 34mm flat slides

the timming key shearing off thing... is that a common thing to hapen with that mod ???

if you are putting those carbs on a stock motor it will not have any bottom end you are better off with the stock carbs

im planing on getting a big bore 400 or 420 not sure yet, chekin out my options,and what i can use as a big bore with pro circuit pipes... ill probably end up getting a timing plate but for now and for what i payed for my timming key and reedspacers i cant go wrong..i think.... will a 4* key improve my bike in any way??

Dont run the key, it will break and leave you stranded. Get a timing advance plate.

You can get a good boss racing, white knuckle or other brand intake to clear the clutch arm. Plus they have a built in crossover tube so it cleans up the area around the carbs.
