I am interested as well how do the fire rings work? Machinework need to run them?

Just place the graphite gasket first then put the rings inside it. No machine work! Have never had any gasket problems with these. We use them on many european cars over here.

The engine in the pictures has a Callies center weight crank by the looks of it. Good luck with the new combo!

Not so short with the velocity stacks. Perfect for 8500-9000.

Some of the buick guys don't even run the stack. They just radius the plenum.

Andreas, your always build cool stuff....

since the rings are reuseable correct?

How much for just the gaskets in case I do a head swap?

Careful with the white tape. It likes to stay on after a while.
