With a 4.8, I'd especially stick with 1-5/8" primaries. You'll keep what semblance of low-end the 4.8 has, even after sliding a cam in.

Then OH GAWD YES!!!!! That would be a killer set up. With a 3.73 and a good tuner you will be more then ok. Get it on a tight LSA and I'd probably go to Maryland speed for a tune...

Are you gonna be running cats or off road Y? If an off road Y is an option I would maybe run 1 5/8", but probably not. Everybody is always trying to keep the 4.8 guys down

True, but Corey seems like a very thorough guy who wouldn't post misinformation IMO, and I know that more than once he has referred to his current setup as being his best...as I mentioned, I can't remember the specifics, just remember that the smaller profile did better than the bigger ones. Bigger isn't always better, especially with smaller cubes.

Then you shouldn't give advice on such a fuzzy memory.

DA, can make a consistent car pick up 3 tenth, and guess what, the best time is what gets posted...

(I apologize too Budhayes3)

What kind of cat back/muffler are you running? I have ORY and Corsa and I miss the cats, too raspy.
