Question I got a Yaw carb...how big a port can I run?

I had my Nikki modded by Yaw as far as he could take it. It sounds as though I could run a large street port but I think I'd like to get a bridgeport. What do you guys think; what's the biggest port I can run with a Yaw carb?

Not sure how much the carb flows but a secondary bridge-port would be nice since it's a four-barrel.

So bridgeport the secondaries and streetport the primaries?

If I was you, I'd call up Paul for the real answer.

You can run as big as you want. If you have a way of putting it on a PP then you can do it But the carb WILL be a restriction, no matter what kind of porting you have, except maybe on a stock port. The question is at what RPM.

Looking at the numbers, his carb should flow great for any engine still using iron apex seals.
