[QUOTE="Grease Slinger, post: 394323, member: 15312"] After a little bit of time in the garage measuring the plot thickens. So what I've ended up doing by taking a inch off the top was turned my 6 7/8 into a 6 3/8. From what I gathered tonight with the two I have is for every 1/2" you take off of the top you lose roughly a 1/4 in diameter. The difference on the inlet size of my two is roughly 1/4 difference from each other. Next ill measure distance between the blades going up the impeller to see if theyre different . Not quite grasping what really affects what here but a trip to the river with a tach and a GPS is about the only way ill figure it out for sure. I didn't have enough room at the con. Lake to really run out and get a good feel for it. And it was close enough when I put it in it didnt need shimmed, maybe would have got one extra on top if I was lucky. [/QUOTE]
