First off, welcome to the forum jradd87
1st off, I recommend when ever asking technical questions to list what bike you have, or better yet, put it in your signature that way it shows up on every post. You can find where to do that in the "Profile" section.
Next, WOW that is a HUGE can-o-worms you just opened up. That topic is probably THE most popular one on the sight. Seeing as this was your first post, I would like you to look at the top left of the page, under the banner, there are buttons. The fourth one over is "Search". You will find TONS of info on your question, some in more detail than you could ever imagine.
Short answer is "no" you will have to rejet the carbs, and they are all different, so don't expect a quick answer to what jets to use on your particular engine. And some carbs just don't respond well to pods. The design engineers spent a lot of R&D time on the airbox.... typically, Mikuni's yes / most Keihin no.

Science is true whether you believe in it or not.
It would be helpful to have a little information, like what motorcycle...
