    There is no such thing as under kill. I wouldn't go smaller than 2.5 personally

    Very true.. But if you put this in to realistic views.. There are 5.0L and bigger engines breathing 8 cylinders through 3" or smaller sometimes, and making more power then you could hope to from a 1.6 or even 1.9.

    But I do agree, 2.5" would be perfect for almost every sub-2.0L engine.

    Yeah bug those 5.0 and up leader engines usuaaly have 2 inch duals. With the 3" I could spool my k24 that is supposed to be really laggy to 5 lbs by 1800 rpm.

    2" per 2.5L + ?? Yeah so how is 3" not overkill for the 1.6-2.0L class? haah.

    What'd it take for you to get to max turbine speed??
