Well they are made to fit snug,and if there are people that are actually having problems,hpe will be more than happy to take care of the problems.
So far hpe has not had any complaints,so i dont know what your talking about.
We have them on atleast 7 cars here around houston,and no problems what so ever.

I posted my complaint in the original thread. I don't like the "necking" down back to the stock size opening. A 90mm TB is pointless with this thing in place. The TNT ring I had on my stock TB had an opening that was the same size as the outer most "largest" portion of the TB. This ring has a diameter of the inner most portion of the TB, which in turn is no larger than my TNT ring. I also don't like the dropoff where the TB meets the ring on the inside. Sharp edges cause turbulence. I never heard anything from anyone at HPE in the post. Maybe they can try to clear it up in this one.

For the fix call Late Model Engineering. I've worked with plenty of their units to know they fit perfectly.

All of our rings are custom made to fit your T-body perfectly. We can also put any type of nitrous fogger in the ring for you and you can specify the size of intake hose you want to use. Give us a call for pricing.

I couldnt agree more!

I am one of them... In their defense, I called them and they wanted me to measure both my Fast TB and their ring, I havent messed with it yet. I am not running it cause it fits so loose! And I dont like the way it steps down.

Tell you this, MTI is putting LSX90,90TB, and going to make my TNT ring into a 90mm ring. Saves alittle in cost also! Just a thought!! I`m sure HPE can do the same!
