I have raced both OS 46 1-5mph faster. Not much difference.

If you plan to enter contests with it. be sure that you have the right engine for the local rules. The "official" engine for AMA event 424 (sport quickie) is the TT 40 PRO, BUT the Minnesota/Wisconsin guys race with the OS 46FX. Of course, if you are just doing it for fun, then GO FOR IT!

I would try at least a 9x8 or 9x9. The engine will unload once its up and going and with the extra pitch you will get some good speed so long as the engine will get on the pipe.
