Fastman sells the 50mm for the 318...and for the 360 towing application...52mm would kill your lowend on a 318 as it is designed for the 360 performance...

i'm not sure the 52 would "kill" your low end. i think you are just going to see gains higher in the rpm range with the 52mm and lower in the rpm range with the 50mm.
