    Stock belts with race seats

    Pinion Bearing

    Spark Plug Recommendation

    Anybody have any recommendations for a N/A V6? I have bumped compression to 9.5 to 1, have a healthy hydraulic cam, single plane intake w/ Holley. The plug the book calls for is the R45TSX w/ .060 gap, should I change heat range/gap with the mods? Thanks, Aaron

    intake port size

    Well I just received my new intake manifold gaskets for my Kenne Bell intake, and the first thing I noticed was how small the intake ports are cast in comparison to the gasket!! I'm talking like about 1/8-3/16 all the way around the runner. Don't get me wrong, I know there is usually some...
