We'll see. It would be better to have real information based on experience, than to just say "We'll, I have never ridden a GZ with a different intake set-up and jetted carbs, but I don't think it's worth it."

It may turn out that you are right. However, no one has done it, so I want to know. If I am wrong, I'll probably be the first to mention it.

Also, have you ever ridden a bike with a 16T front sprocket? If so, you'd know that, while the gearing is perfect for just about any other type of riding, top speed is limited to 65-70MPH. Opening up even a small amount of juice on the top end, which is what you get from a free-flowing intake, should result in a small increase in top speed. (interstate/open road riding)

Also, when you say "time and money" I know you don't mean a few hours and $30 at max. Anyone who is serious about getting the work done doesn't need to spend much more than that.
