hi all,

just after some opinions....
im runing a high-comp 2ltr with a single 38dgms, and a 'medium street' crow cam. i have a set of 4-2-1 extractors that lead to a 2" exhaust. the trouble is, when it get to around 3500 rpm, right in the middle of the torque curve, it doesnt make any more power. the cam [on paper] stops making power at 6500rpm, and the carby+ports are huge, so that leaves me with one option..the exhaust is too small.

i could go and get a 2.5" fitted, but the extractors i have end in a 2" outlet. the extractors were originally fitted to the g200, but im concerned that having a 2" outlet leading to a 2.5" pipe would be a waste of time, due to the restriction at the end of the extractors.

what do you guys think??

thanks,

rob.

I'd be looking at jetting and the ignition advance curve first, make sure everything else is sorted.
