160 vs. 215
How much more fuel can the 215 pump flow than the 160?

The 160 has lots of potential. The 180 pump apparently can flow the most fuel when modified.

A stock 160 motor can be tweaked to push way more fuel than the stock charger can support............for free If you know how do it.

180 Has the better plungers and bigger internals to modify it for more fuel along with some other stuff that I dont know.
