The 03-05 needle is p/n 16012-KPS-901 marked C39A
The 06-09 needle is p/n 16012-KPS-731 marked C83A
The Power-Up needle is p/n 16012-KPS-921 marked C30FF
The 03-05 and 06-09 needles look very much the same but the 07-09 has only two clip positions equal to #2 and #3 on the 03-05 needle.
You will not believe how well the 230 pulls on top after you get the 03-05 needle installed at #4. I always thought the top end was "dull" due to the two-valve head design - Boy, was I wrong!

I used to work in a speed shop and I rejetted MANY Holleys and Quadra-Jets for both the street and the strip. I have also done quite a few bikes along the way too. This was not my first rodeo so I figured why not REALLY see what's going on. The bottom line is that Mike Coe spent hours on a dyno and it is just foolish for us to question his work - PERIOD.
