    They both seem a little cheap for what they are advertising... They both use hyperutecnic pistons (fancy word for hi-silicone cast) which I don't like.
    I dunno... makes me wonder about the quality of the machine work
    1971 Camaro, 383 stroker ~500HP,M21 Trans with lightened flywheel. All Sorts of Auto-x Goodness in the Suspension. 12" Brakes ->SOLD

    But ask me about my 2004 STi Auto-x car...
