Like it says. I have read how a 62/14 will give cooler EGT's than a 62/12. It does give more power too though, right?

Thanx.

The larger housing should make a little more power by reducing exhaust restriction.

A larger housing is always an improvement IF you can live with the reduced response (which is not always the case).

Thanx. That much I understand (from reading on the DTR here), but will the 62/14 make more power than the 62/12?

Thanx.

The 14 will outflow the 12 on the exhaust size. If you are lacking power from exhaust restriction then a 14 will make more power. You will need to see what your drive pressure is on a 12 to see if the 14 would provide any benefit. I would assume that the 14 would make more power in your application but it will have more low-end lag to contend with.
