I personally wouldn't go this big unless you have a good set of high-flow heads and a healthy cam. Kinda overkill otherwise

open the bag... it's one big one folded in half... I thought the same thing.. it's the 90MM o-ring for the TB

being that I'm a h/c car with a cam over 230 duration at .050

I'm a bit more of an optimist based on LGs results. I've also seen enough evidence that the TB is starting to become a restriction at my power level. I'm guessing 15 or so RWHP gain
