Most are running a 6 or 7. A bigger number is leaner, but the cutaway is larger.

Its not going to make any difference

the slide cut away regulates the amount of air drawn over the needle jet at about 1/4 throttle. If you ride a lot at partial throttle openings like I do (semi tight woods) it does have some effect. If you whack the throttle open most of the time you probably wouldn't notice much. My gut tells me a 6.0 would work a little better for me but its not 50 bucks worth of better.

Ill probably try a 7 slide since i ride 5000 to 8000ft in the tight trees and high desert. I put a 42 pilot droped the needle all the way down and it seems to run better on the bench but i have not riden it yet.Will take out this afternoon when it warms up.
