No matter what you end up doing, make sure it can be changed without too much frustration, because after you test it, you may reveal a weak point in your design, such as a portion with detached flow or a turbulent vortex.

I just looked at his bikes. I think I'll raise it to 5" and start there.
I wish I could do some testing with my setup, but now may engine is apart so I can't drive it.
But I should have it back running in about a month.
