I don't see where you posted what model your bike is, and I'm too lazy to search your posts to see if you have it listed somewhere else. I have the head mod on my 200, it made some difference. For the 220 it's a pretty drastic change though. If you have a 200 and you're sending the carb in anyway, then why not.? If you have a 220, then definitely do the head mod.

I have a 2003 KDX 220. Sent my head & carb to RB designs several years ago. Made a great improvement. Still happy.
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Definitely go for it. The head mod on the 220 makes a very noticeable difference. With that and the carb, you will gain more power everywhere.

So not really that much better for the 200? I’ll probably just do a new carb this winter then.

It does make a difference, and it is cheap. If you're sending your carb in you'll be down anyway, so I would send the head with. If you are buying a new carb outright, I might not bother with the head mod. I had him do my head, and I do not regret it at all. Cleans things up a bit all over.
