carbon or stock??
im starting to gather parts for a bridged 12a this summer
i cant decide if i want carbon or stock seals
i like the carbons, since less stuf will break, and rebiulds will be cheaper when they pop
but i know stockers "should" last longer
BTW I dont plan on taking it past 9500rpm

Airflow is my life
Carbons are good for engines that see hi rpms all the time. ie-race motors. If your driving on the street, then you lose any advantage they give. Carbons show lower compression numbers than iron seals at low rpms.

An other thing is, if you cut a big bridge-port on the primaries and secondaries with matched rotor-housings you run the risk of dislodging the apex-seal corner piece. Some of the after-market seals have a longer corner piece to overcome this. With carbons it obviously doesn't matter as they're one-piece.

edit:
im convinced
with the lack of my needs for a dailey driver
and no sound laws in mississippi
full bridge with carbons are the way to go
