Here are some ideas from our most popular set ups
Stock/19 turn; Purple/Blue RF, Gray LF, White LR, Dbl gray RR This combo has been untouchable lately in the stock and 19-0 for sure and great in some applications with 19 open timing
19 open/modified; Purple RF, Pink or gray LF, Pink LR, Pink or dbl pink RR.
Those are my top selling combinations for flat oval. It is what I run myself as well. Sometimes guys will stray a bit from this to make changes that they are looking for but these are the best right now. Hopefull that helps a little
