Default Centered inlet/outlet 4" OBX

I saw this on Ebay. I know several people have stated that they didn't feel the OBX with the inlet and outlet on the bottom would spread the heat dissipation very well. I will be switching to the 4" version from the 3" and this might be a possibility. I will probably end up getting the bottom inlet/outlet though because it's such an easy changeover.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-Lar...QQcmdZViewItem

Lots of guys have had great luck and made good power with these. The center inlet/outlet would be your best bet. Plus cant beat the price!

I assume that was you that went 135? My motor went out (main bearings) so I'm hoping I'll have it back together for the TA nats.

Good job. I'm expecting more though. I went Sea Dooing. Got a couple supercharged RXP's (everything must be FI). Lost a race to a modded RXP. I told the guy I spend too much modding cars so I've got to draw the line somewhere.
