The tank in the later years was 65 gallons so I don't think going bigger is going to hurt your performance drastically, unless you are running a 115 HP or something.

Spoke to Atlantic welding, adding an additional Foot to the tank making it from 48" to 60". He's getting back to me on how many gallons i'm increasing. He did tell me stock is 43 gallons.
