To really get the most out of the X port, you have to spin the blower really hard and then reliability becomes more of an issue along with IC temps. At some point, it just makes sense to go with the Maggie 2650. To continue to try to build a max effort Kong X port build means investing more in fueling too, at that point, might as well bite the bullet and go with the Maggie 2650 for the improved cooling. I just don't see the point in the X port unless you're trying to set stock blower records.

well the point I'm wondering is this: say I do same mods as you and go with standard over x and have no intention of spraying gallons of meth adding a death pulley, just want to land somewhere around 700, am I leaving anything on the table by not going with x? say I end up at 690 or however much you made, would you have seen 700 with the x? regardless of the fact that you don't plan on going full kill with the blower. because to me, if I'm going to do it, id rather not leave anything on the table and do it once
