.48 will spool up quicker and the .63 will be a little more laggy, but not much

yes I would say so
.48 will be smoother and .63 will kick you in the back a little more

The .63 will give you more top-end grunt but if you like instant responce it will get on your tits imo!
I have come down in size from a T4 to a grpA T3 and its so much more fun

i have had them both in the last 6 month and not on the same engine
i like the .63 on a balanced engine 9:1 its great the .48 didnt feel great on the standard block were on the standard block the t3 chucked you back in the seat if you see what i mean?
so for me
T3 STANDARD ENGINE TOP END 165MPH DONT ASK ME HOW BUT IT DID PROVEN WELL WITH RS500 CLOCK AT 230 IN THE MORNING ON M25 I MUST HAVE BEEN MAD
T34.48 STANDARD ENGINE ONLY DONE 150 DIDNT PUSH IT
T34.68 9:1 C/R STILL TO FIND OUT

I hope that engine lasts longer than it sounds like it will
9:1 comp on a T34/.63 sounds fookin high running any sort of boost mate!
