Parker's Mikuni SU Replacements? and another thing... 120-130

First let me say this is just for curiousity's sake as I drink my coffee.

Anyone tried Parker's SU replacements? Any report on how much improvement this provides in performance and economy over the RPM range?

Second I noticed in another thread that some were miffed with Parker for his way of selling his knowledge. I can't speak to that but I can say that I am glad there is someone that loves these old motors enough to still be R&D-ing twenty years after the last B20's were cast.

I may or may not ever do business with VPD but I am sympathetic to anyone that does niche production/service. I'm in a custom business and the reason I am more expensive is because I have knowledge and skills most others don't.

Hooray for John to finding enough clientele to support his addiction to old Volvo's.

OK, off the soapbox.
