Post by: Jerome on February 11, 2012, 04:13:07 PM

It sounds like they're fine for a street engine, but you may have to be careful with power adders:

The best bang for your buck would be to bore to 94mm and use a Weisco with 2-2-4mm ring setup
The thicker top ring is very durable in Boost and N02 applications. And use a Cima 94 Barrel with the Weisco's.

Cheers
