[FlyRotary] Re: Ellison vs EFI
  Hp don't mean anything as its all in CFM and at that time tne biggest they offered was 350 CFM which will work fine on the big lunged ancient airplane motors but we need free high flowing carburetors, about 650 to 700 CFM is about right.
 They insisted to me that 350 CFM was just fine for the rotary which was a bunch of bull, now if they now offer something 650 or bigger then they will work great and I would take a look at them again.

  I talked to then many years ago as I was thinking about one but the only one they offered had a 1.5 inch bore and that just ain't going to flow enough air for the rotary so you would need two of them at double the cost.

I don't know what they offered many years ago, but they now list models from 30-350 HP.  On my O-360, I had an EFS-4-5, which is rated for 180-225 HP.  I'm thinking that would be the size I'd want for a 13B as well.
