I have run this combo on both my 7 Port and my modded 5 Port and it rocks
The standard 0801 seems to give good bottom and mid, but it runs out of legs a little at the top on the 7 and 5 Ports (cant comment on the 3 Port as I haven't run one in competition).
Basically the hybrid 2047/0801 combo gives good power everywhere in the rev range and is smooth to drive.
We have been calling it the working man's 2072

It sounds like the 2072 is very much like this hybrid set up, with the bonus that the new bigger volume chamber on it makes more power overall as well.
Can't wait to try one out
Hi Grizz!

thanks for the info on the pipe/header combo!

"working man's 2072" thats gold bro

i originally ran the 2072 with a Go 7 port in my buggy but it ate 2 diffs in 1 heat lol so i had to reduce throttle % and change some clutch springs (it was off its tits lol)

since then i've thrown a Gen 5.5 carb/rod and crank in the 5 port and am sticking to the 5 port/2072 combo with is perfect IMO!

i guess im a little spoilt in sydney as i get direct access to Massive and just happened to be in the shop when the 2072 delivery came
