Hi=20 Tom,

I can't say I=20 understand it, but maybe Ken or someone will jump in and bail me = out.

I've been worried that = I was on=20 the verge of choking my 13B with "only" 1-5/8" bores for each=20 rotor. Now I suppose you could connect the runners for=20 both rotors together at a common plenum, and feed it with a = single1-7/8"=20 bore since both rotors aren't requiring a huge airflow at the same=20 time. That seems like it should work, and I'd love to see = someone try=20 it. Just hard to step back from true fuel=20 injection.
