QUOTE (] I have seen some "car of the year" awards that just didnt make sense [/QUOTE)

Carefull!  914 was MotorTrend's  1970 "Import Car of the Year"

[QUOTE=]Even the straight cuts that I sell are kinda questionable.. The best set in the planet cost 450.00 at my cost and even they are crappy and need work...

Unless your engine HAS to make 100HP+ PER LITER stick with the helical gears... Hell my 3 liter don't even have them, and don't need them...


Yet another product dumped on the market from pure advertising! A solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

Just cause somebody makes it, and somebody else sells it, and some PR guy that's never had a wrench in his hand in his life comes up with a BS rap that sounds plauseable, IT STILL DOESN'T MAKE IT A GOTTA HAVE PIECE!
