well if you got a stock port rebuild with 3mm seals dont you think its kind of a waste??? people run 2mm seals with street ports and make well over 400hp so 2mm seals are fine..

the only thing 3mm seals are good for is a little more detonation resistance. if you know how t tune, youshouldnt have to worry about that.

Definatly go with the streetport. The bigger apex seals arent going to aide you in any way in making more power. And like what was said before, 3mm apex seals in a stock port engine is useless.

Right. Streetport. Especially is this is a n/a car. 3mm on a n/a car is a serious waste.

Definately go with the streetport. If you have extra cash, get a lightened flywheel.
