Adding a aftermarket intake w/38mm carbs

[Baja 252]

Can you run 38"s with a aftermarket intake? If so, does running a aftermarket intake gain you anything if your running stock 38's.
On say a ported 701 with a B-pipe, head, 180psi, VF 2's and a MSD CDI.

Very doubtful there is any performance to be gained over the stock intake manifold if you are using 38mm carbs. Most aftermarket units are set up for 48mm carbs, so they have much more volume, most likely this would be counter productive.

@JetManiac and @Blue set up their big bore 781 motors with stock 38 carbs, I suspect that if anybody would know what the best intake to use for them, they would. I'm pretty sure they use the stock intake.

Your correct we use stock intake on my big bores but
V force reeds are a great improvent over stock reeds. I wouldnt waste money on an intake unless i was running bigger carbs.

Thanks, that's what I thought, but wanted to ask to be sure.
