2" shorty depending on the roughness of the water. but why waste the money on the shorty just get a Bmax and be done with it.

The bmax is available in standard and shorty versions.Bmax bolts up to Bravo. Cost is anywhere from $5500 used to $12K new. they are designed to live up to 1000hp. Check out www.bravoshop.com for more info.

2 INCH SHORTTIE WILL WORK FINE AND PUT AT LEAST 5 MPH ON A BLOWER MOTOR, WE HAVE SEEN 4 TO 5 MPH DIFFERENCE ON 525s, GOING TOA 2 INCH SHORTTIE, WITH NO ISSUES OF BLOW OUT OR GETTING ON PLANE IT HAS BECOME THE STANDARD DRIVE OF CHOICE FOR ALL ELIMINATOR CATS.
