JWL probably has test results on the 97 vs. 48 in his book as well. As you know, the stock 48 does have larger base venturi than 97, plus larger jets. I run a 97 on my '35 fordor thinking it may give better gas mileage than the 48, but no facts to back that up.
Now if you are running three engines and nine carburators, who even cares about gas mileage?
