already thinkin about the next build? How long are u expectin it to last man? I imagine the change in flow with extended ports might cause some awkward vibrations that could cause quicker seal damage, but I'm not all too sure.

for all of us crossroads guys: im looking to get some more traffic on my website, so i have created a crossroads section on our forums. me and sam and andre discussed it this evening and thought it was a decent idea. So any help is appreciated. we can keep this thread going for the new guys popping in and also help me have a reason for the 125 bucks a year i am spending on my website. Thanks, Josh www.streetvisions.org sign up and i will approve the accounts.

Anthony, when you get ready to pull that tired engine out of your TII, we can port the irons and housings for you Just a taste of what you could have.

Bridge vs stock.

Heres the best of my pics, see the rest at http://picasaweb.google.com/tgfarrel...3ir5Kov7H6ngE#

cut a trough in it with a grinder and fill it with resin. their fiberglass right? depending how bad the crack is, u may even have to use the fabric too. i don't think there's really an easy/quick fix for fiberglass.
