Karl - That is what I was thinking as well. I am going to move it back to the 1" line and see what that gives me. I will play around with it and see where I get the best results. I will let everyone know where I end up, that way it might help someone in the future doing the same modification.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Food for thought.... I think I'd do the 1.25" if feasible since it allows more clearance @ the fan motor. Not as much of a concern if the firewall is shaved but that real-estate is much desired w/the OE stuff (which is already paid for).

I will play around with several measurements and see what works best, but thanks for the idea!
