    Anywhere from 57 mm to 70mm is decent. 62-67 seems to be the sweet spot

    It would spool to quick would be the issue I think as it being to small there wouldn't be much of a useable powerband cause if it spools off the line rather than at 4k or so then you'll just blow the tires off

    I think a bone stock 3800 would spool an 80 by 4k.
    My 67 lights under 3k.
    a 16g would be like running bananas in the exhaust.
    Total waste of time.
