what did you use to block the butterfly rod holes? if at all? slash what kind of gains does doing that create?

That's awesome dude!

well my friend i dont know if it did made a big gain since i did everything at once but im sure it helps throttle response. to block the holes jb weld or all metal is the way to go.
and a lil bit of sanding to smoothn it after its harden.
