Ok so should I get the 68.5mm or the 70mm? I'm not gonna install it till I do the H/O cams, 39# injectors, and SCT. Definitely getting a Hipotek though.

I'll be getting on it shortly and it will be a Hipo. I am not going with a fastman because I had the same issues with the Fastman like Bobboh. Its on my list, ok guys?!

Well I talked with Hipotec and they said that unless you go all out and port and polish your heads, stroke it....etc etc then the 68.5 would be the recommended one to get.

I have the 68.5 Hipotek and am very satisfied. I feel like the 70mm would be unnecessary power-wise and probably just cause more fuel to be burned

I just email the the hipotek dude and he said that a 68.5 MM would be good enough and it would gain 7 to 12 hp. Just like the 70 BBK thats like double the price.
