I noticed that that air filters on the 46mm carbs for the 3.0 are shorter that the ones I had on the 40mm carbs on the 2.0. While investigating I also found that the velocity stacks are shorter. What, if anything does this do? should I look into replacing them with taller ones?
 another shot, don't have pic of the other for comparison...  |

It all depends on the VE of the motor.
Overall, taller stacks = more low end torque Shorter = more HP in the higher rev range. Again...this depends alot on the Volumetric Efficiency of your motor, the cam, the heads, blah blah blah... So, I would suggest that you dont change them if they came with the motor. Rich |
