Anyone else using one?
Have been using one in my 18 300XC for a little while now and it just keeps getting better. I was running the recommended jetting 50/182 and played around with it a little bit but didn't fully understand the concept of what the STIC does. I decided to throw the Mikuni back on which has been modified and the difference was larger than I imagined. I found with the STIC it actually made too much power in tighter woods riding and dropped back to yellow PV spring from the red.
If you are wondering what they are like or if they are worth the expense, then YES is the answer. yes they are expensive but it honestly has made way more power and a better bike to ride than any after market accessory i have bolted to my bike.

School me in the size of the tubes or orifice. Is one better than the other? Advantages or disadvantages?
I did not know "sizes" were / are available?
Neither of those numbers are present.
Regarding the design differences between the two tubes, George explained that he designed the 0.114" in an effort to improve off idle and roll on acceleration over the 0.115. Derek suggested a hood mod to us on our early release 0.115 tube which made a big big difference in throttle response on our case reed CR250 and was later incorporated into the 0.115 design by George (STIC). The 114 goes one step further. YMMV depending on your particular engine, carb and setup.
It's nice to hear a first hand experience and the results that you got with the metering block. It's always good to know what your getting into before you buy it, cuz for a tiny piece of a carb, it does cost quite a bit of money, pretty much covers the cost of buying an entirely separate carb. So just to be sure and that it's not just a bunch of hoakey tricks and advertising, is quite assuring when it comes time to order.
if anyone's got detailed pics, please help us out, so we can see a few different angles of it. The whole idea of taking the air/fuel adjustment and turning it into a loop that can drastically Alter mainjet pickup and low rpm, and effectively bridge the gap between the pilot and main jet loops, is awesome, super cool idea. I want one of these so bad, and matched up to a dicks intellijet, would make for one formidable pwk38
