WB1 Reduction nozzel size/benefit?

Anyone run a bored reduction nozzel on their wb? Was there a noticeable difference in low end power and acceleration? I have seen some for sale advertising different bore sizes does anyone know if there is a standard or max u should go?

I have not run a bored reduction nozzle but the Ocean pro steering nozzle is good for a one mph incease over stock and improved noticeable thrust only thing is they usually can go for 100 to even 200 bucks depending on how bad you want one!

Haven't heard anything good about the Riva's except up to 1 mph increase. The Ocean Pro's however I hear you can carve and turn better with and woudln't be terrible for $100.

Re: WB1 Reduction nozzel size/benefit?

Is the OP steering nozzel just longer? I've heard adding some length will net "some" performance gains mainly in the handling area. On some Kawasaki skis I've seen guys hook PVC couplers on. I don't know of a coupler that would fit the blaster nozzel but if you guys know of a "home-grown" nozzel extender I'd be interested.

I think the steering nozzels do improve handling but i have not run an aftermaket 1 so I couldnrt say. Also havent heard of any homemade solutions. I did pick up a bored reduction nozzel for my blaster and they are supposed to give alot more bottom end punch. But havent been able to try it out yet.
