Right now I'm running a 48mm on a basically stock engine (except for a cold
air intake, ported intake manifold, and a high flow cat & muffler)
Once I get my engine done this winter, I'll be upgrading to a 50mm. I want
to see how the 48mm performs with the ported heads, new cam, 1.6 rockers,
and long tube headers. I have a feeling I'll need the 50mm, but not enough
to go buy one.
As far as when I'll get it done, I have no clue....I'm already a year
behind, so in my book whatever schedule I put together is just about
meaningless...i'll just go with the flow! :)
