I do not have the reflash but I do have a RKT head.
From the horses mouth (Kelsey)

"If you consider consistent runing and more power a downside.. then YES, tons of downside"

"The head is a HUGE improvment over stock.. The head and recurve completely transform the XP into the sled it should be"

I could be totally wrong but i thought you had to be running at least his head for him to even do the re curve for you? Either way im going to be running with it this season so i will have to wait and see if its good or bad. I have never heard much bad about Kelsey and when i talked to him on the phone he seems confident that it is a good upgrade so i hope he is right:beer;

Are you saying that with Kelseys head you had to jet down and therefore use less gas and make more power !

tell me,
Is this correct ?

That about sums it up.....although with more power you'll find yourself squeezing the trigger more and using MORE fuel. :beer;:)

Yes, you will jet down after installing the RKT head and reflash. Had just the head on my XP 800 the first year and went from 480 to 450 main jets. The next year got the reflash and the 860 and jetted to 440/430's. Head runs cooler and much more eficient than stock

Did some homework, all I can see as a downfall is that if you ever wanted to go back to stock you can't. At least thats what I was told. Thats why I'm waiting a year so I still have my warranty. But after that bring on new domes and a re-flash for sure.

In my 06 went from 440 stock to 390 in a 827 with porting . :D

But you need to raise your needles, I had hot EGTs in the midrange.
