Ed,
295cc + 495cc = 795cc, why not a couple of 400cc injectors as the figures 
suggest, what is the closest to 400cc injectors- is it the 440cc Tracy 
recommends?

The engine won't be going over 7,200 rpm for most applications and the 
495cc secondary Renesis is larger than our needs. I know larger is better 
for the higher RPM as it dispenses larger amounts of fuel over a shorter 
time, however for idle and low power their getting too big.

So I figure for the situation of having them the same size, I wouldn't have 
them bigger than the 440cc Tracy recommends.
