This is the set I bought, I'll have to buy the 30 separate I believe:

What size jets have you all found to work out well at an elevation near mine? Also how hard is it to tune the mixture? I've been around car motors my whole life but admittedly I have no experience with carbs. I can change a camshaft with no problem, but clueless when it comes to tuning a carb.
I'm at 10' above sea level and had no experience in tuning at higher elevations but with stock exhaust a 110 main should be good. a 115 main if you removed the cat or have an after market exhaust. I'm still running the stock pilot with the idle mixture out 1 1/2 turns and shimmed the needle with 2 small washers and runs perfect for me. Others may be able to help out for the higher elevations. The idle mixture screw is a pain to get to. I lucked out and got dead on the 1st try at 1 1/2 turns out.
