that'd actually be kinda cool to watch


i've had the stocker go out on me, remaned ones doa, remaned ones that lasted a couple months, ac delco one that broke during a burnout at the track after about 10 months, and i'm currently running another ac delco that's lasted me 5 months or so, so far. it's a hit or miss thing. some people have really good luck with "Brand A" opti's, other people have better luck with the "brand B" optis, etc...


over all ac delco's seem to have the best success to price ratio

I have also seen misinformation in other threads concerning this but Delco is Delphii has been for a good bit. Either one of them are the one's that I use and recommend, unless redlining beyond their limits.
