Ridiculous that they can be cheaper in the US than in Japan when they are made here

i think it has something to do with taxes or exchange rates?

add to that a KMS Big Bore TB (70.1mm vs 66.1mm) to accommodate my hot cams


they were a steal at $150 (King Motorsports), compared to $350 for the spoon unit. i think BBK also makes one, if you're interested wickster

No thanks on the throttlebody, I'm holding out for ITB's I suggest AEM or INJEN alex, they seem to make a hp or two more than the others.... I have AEM and I quite like it..... if I went with something else I'd get that RPS I think.....

BTW, me neither.....

My internal plans are lightened and knife-edged crank, B&B'd block, cunningham superlite con rods, and I'm not decided on the pistons..... honestly I'm undecided on the overbore.... it's a good 10% maybe in gains..... that like another 20 hp...... all said and done I could be huggin 300 whp NA withOUT a stoker. Maybe 10K RPMs ..... yadda yadda...... as always these ideas are morphing and changing.....
