Anyone ever put a "ram air" intake on their 650?

So far I'm really impressed with how the bike runs, the ergonomics of having a bunch of intake and carb hanging off the side I can't wait for the roads to clear up here in Edmonton Alberta Canada go test this beast !

Ok so I was wrong, the jetting is lean :( I had a bobble in the mid I figured main jet but I pulled the choke out (at idle) and the RpMs increased .....
So I left the choke full out and turned the idle down and she idled so nice and had instant throttle response and no mid to high bobble. Does anyone know or is willing to theorize the amount of jets I should come up.... Here's where I'm at currently
45 pilot 172 mains and I think it's 72 on the enricher jets (it's stock I just forget at the moment)

I am worried about the hot start plunger potentially being ineffective and allowing more air as I was confident that my jetting would be .... Ball park but the story with the hot start is I have no cable going to it but I do have the housing spring and plunger correctly installed. I will disassemble and look to make sure the mating surfaces are clean (the whole carb already been completely disassembled and cleaned )
Back to jetting, I feel the pilots should come up 2 and the main jet up to a 180. The airfilter is a k&n rc1200 this should be good enough to ride and chop test further.
