Paul, an alternative to the steel wool is the material that Lang Hindle
uses and is available from Street&Comp. It is a ceramic base sheet, 5/16
thick, 17-18" long. You simply wrap the core as tight as possible to get
as much as you can on there and slip it back in the can. Cost is less
than 15.00 last time I bought it,less than a year ago. Still have the
original in can on bike now,4 yr's. old.

Cory, my experience is that packing material is very important.  It is best 
to stuff as much as possible in.  Wrap it very tight, and use electrical tape 
to make a couple of raps to contain it (it will burn off).  This changed my 
jetting, as I repacked after I jetted.  WRONG.  Had to jet all over again.  
The theory as I understand it, has something to do with the sonic waves or 
pulses of sound.  With thin or no packing, they bounce around in the can 
producing resistance.  With lots of packing they travel out in the most 
expeditious manner, resulting in peak hp, and in my case, had to jet all over 
again, as it was that effective.
