The Dynojet kits are designed for use with quality pods. You might find that you haven't saved anything by getting cheap pods. If you have your old air box, I would put it right back on and do whatever it takes to insure it functions correctly. The beauty of the 850 was smooth power delivery. It's not a hot rod and you can easily destroy it's best characteristics. You will not gain much of anything with pods on that bike. Elevation is not a consideration on your bike, CV carburetors self adjust for elevation changes unlike the VM carburetors on my bike.

I don't believe a carbureted bike will self adjust for elevation. Jmo.

Those with CV carburetors will adjust almost perfectly for elevation, especially if they still have the stock intake system.

Some motorcycles do it better than others, but the Suzuki GSes with CVs are very good. I have ridden a lot of them with completely stock jetting up to 14,000'. Any size GS, from 450s to 1100s, they all run flawlessly except for being a little bit down on power, and you may have to turn the idle speed screw in a little bit if you care about how it idles. They all start right up, run well with good throttle response, no issues at all.

VMs on the other hand run like crap outside of the little elevation window they are tuned for.
