Blackjacks vs. Powerbombs

[x2ryder]

I have a 98 SJ with the following mods
5mm stroker
Ported cases and cylinders
ADA head 175psi
Type 9 dry pipe (water injection)
v force reeds
Riva reed spacer
Riva intake manifold
x prop re pitched by impros to 14/18 and cut back 3mm
MSD enhancer
Shredmaster intake grate rideplate combo
TBM pump cone
I have a set of 46 Blackjacks on the way from Art. I just wanted some opinions on what people thought about these compared to the Riva Powerbombs? I have had 44 blackjacks in the past and really liked them. But I have had a set of 48 Novi's and really liked them also. I have also heard good things about the Powerbombs. Just looking for some input.
Thanks

I think both are probably just as good.

Crammit will say Blackjacks
Riverrat will prob say the powerbombs are good also.


try them both.

I know the Full Specs will kill you trying to dial them in.

I have had good luck with the powerbombs.

Novis are very clean and consistent

good luck with powerbombs as a single and dual. they seem to be very forgiving on the tuning part of things too if you a newbie.

I like 44 black jacks..I've ran all but full spec.. the BJ 46's are hard to get right..(for me) i think Art says they work best jetted at 1/2-3/4 turns out on the top.. I just didnt like that little of adjustment for the different places I go (sea Level to 5000')

never compared the 2 but i love the responce and crisp feeling of my 46 black jacks.

How much are a set of 46 BJ's going for?
