well stinger made a good recommendation on this 90* upper intake.... he said the sharp inside turn....short side...... so there is room to weld in the back side so i can cut 1/4" out and round that off. i will do it as i can see what he's talking about. machinist has not measured my bore yet so still haven't ordered pistons but got "pimp" micro squirt pcm by stinger and all my gaskets bought etc etc on anther note i have been wanting a single row led bar for a while to put in a diff location. so i decided to try this one......http://extremeledlightbars.com/pro-series-2d-40-single-row-led-light-bar-16000-lumens-combo-beam
This,from that link is why I will not use beehives unless there is no other choice. Rick MoodyEvery set of beehive springs I have bought broke in the area where they narrow down. I don't use them on street applications for that reason. Additionally,I prefer the benefit of a dual spring being able to possibly save your engine in the event of a broken spring. I have had that happen personally.The benefits,which I do not dispute,for a drag race engine could be a plus as the benefit to a high rpm endurance application could be a plus as well if we were in a competition event are not worth the negligible performance increase for our use in the dunes.
A few million LS motors would beg to differ on street use on beehive springs. Spring failure is usually due to incorrect selection or installation.
