Socks are good, if you have room. I don't..
Graham's stacks won't fit a Dellorto without mods. They are a little longer too- probably too long for a Ramflo filter.
We dynoed Baracade's 1380 road motor at Xmas- has 45DCOE, 286 cam, we got 110HP with Graham Russell's stacks, 110HP with socks on 'em. Made no difference to power.
For a road motor, I would oil them- for the track many leave dry, or just spray them with WD40.
