claybill Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 you're gonna need bigger full flow aircleaners. those little chromies are not quite big enough. you can use the base of those chromies and add a fram element that is a nice fit ., triples the flow. looks hot! i have the number in garage,,also have pics of my 230 and 218...but i have NEW COMPUTER and for some reason it wont download my old pics...trying. bill Quote

moose Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 what do you think,how many horses do you have now? do you have acces to a dynanometer? I bet when he starts using both carbs, it'll calm down the romp-romp shakiness a bit AND make more power;) Then it'll probably sound about like my A. Quote
