if you're spraying I'd step up to the 28" slick no doubt.

I run without tubes. Hell, I think most run without them

What valve springs are you running and how high are you spinning the motor?

I have the PRC Spring kit for Texas Speed that is good to 660 lift and as far as how high I going to spin the motor it is still up in the air. Any info would help. Thanks!!
