I ran .48 on my fiesta but recently changed it to a 55 pulls alot harder up the rev range than it did before and I havnt noticed anymore lag since the change I hit peak boost around 3000rpm,

Havnt had chance to run a .63 but it will be an option for the future ATM I can't fault my .55

As mentioned previously mate, a .63 ex with a .50 inlet is quit laggy due to the sheer mass of the internals, will spool much later than a .48, its all down to what power/curve your looking for

I wouldnt say on ANY 1600cvh, it depends on how its built/mapped, and also the overall result you want.

you dont run a t34 tho and your power output is way higher than what he wants. if you want arount the 300hp mark then you want a .48 .
