Default gas VS alky

Question: What will give the most power gains on a stage three with an 11.5-1 piston a TM45 on alky or a TM48 on gas. The Lectron isn't an option so dont say it. Thanks H

i think on the top end your question is about the same, but with a 45 on alky.....well a lot better low end than the 48 on gas. now like bom said the 48 on alky is ideal[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] i havnt ran mine on alky with the 48 yet but exited to do so!! maybe little sahara if i have about 10- 5gal fuel jugs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. like scooby and mrhp said a while back the 48 is the smallest carb they would put on there bikes for what they do. hope this helps H.

Bom, a 48 on alky would be ideal but cost prohibitive as I get everything tuned on the dyno[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] cost is the reason against the lectron as well . I can sell my 45 and get the 48 and dyno it on gas but they charge quite a bit more to tune for alky[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] so I was checking for most bang for the buck.
