Welcome to Missile Performance! For over 18 months Mitchell and I have been delving into the world of automotive stainless braided and rubber hoses for automotive and marine uses.

Want an ignition system to go with that ECU you just bought??? I can get D585 coils and OEM Delphi pigtails to suit. These are the factory coil on the LS9 and LS3 motors and feature inbuilt igniters and enough grunt to light off Methanol @ 1000 + HP levels.. I have one RB25 head sitting at home doing nothing. It comes with loom, injectors, coils, factory inlet plenum and possibly a factory exhaust mani, all covers etc. I think I even have a RB25 ECU to run it all. You will need a loom and to patch it accross. As is in a box sent to you for $800 + postage or alternatively the head can be checked, cleaned, reco and welded and machined to suit a RB30 bottom end for $1200 + postage. I have a set of fresh LS3 heads without rocker gear. Come with the factory hollow stem valves etc. These are the latest model heads and are a great budget choice for a stroker build with a bore over 4.0" I can also offer competitive pricing on fittings from the Red Horse stable of Performance Automotive Fittings. Amazing quality at very reasonable prices. Forget the Ebay junk.. These things will look good for year after year. These items are an order on demand. I will provide quotes on demand. :) Also for you LS1 guys I can get great pricing on Powerbond Under Drive Harmonic Balancers - Please PM me for Cost + Postage Returns Policy - For all order errors on our behalf, MissilePerformance will pay return postage for items if items need returning. If items need sending as they have been left out, MissilePerformance will pay for postage. Obviously. MissilePerformance while we do our best to give you our time to ensure what we supply is correct for your needs, we are not building your car for you and the fuel/oil system in most cases isn't in front of us. All orders will be supplied with an invoice upon which paying you agree to the items being sent and paid for. If you change your mind, or it doesn't quite suit yoursetup as you intended and you wish to return your item for a refund you will pay for postage and be subject to a 15% re-stocking fee.

what sort of braided hose should i use from the rocker cover to the catchcan?

Plenty of ways to do it. I prefer running dual individual AN-10 or AN-8 lines from the rocker cover on a RB30. The system isn't overly pressurised so push on fittings and the usual blue hose will suffice, however if you want it to look a million dollars nothing beats using braided hose and the correct hose ends. On a twin cam head you need to utilise the factory drain, a drain from the rear welsh plug in the head and two AN-10 feeds from the rocker cover. It is very important to get the oil from the head back to the sump. We have some AN-10 single wrap hose on special at the moment. It is $25 per/m. Usually it is $40 plus. It would be perfect for what you want.

Personally I think its the best you can get. I spent alot of money and time to get it right. I just hope all the late nights spent testing and cracking it because it wasn't good enough is going to pay off. I would be happy to put it up against any of them but in reality the pressure we use it for is never going to test it out.

Thanks bud - Personally I was sick of spending the amount of money for the exact issues you mention. Worst case scenario for me is that I have all the braided hose myself and my friends ever need. I guess I'll just have to do a few more engine bays and fuel systems!

Yeah the radiator hose size stuff now has to go into production, then shipping etc It may be a little while. I am also trying to find some clamps to suit. Not everyone will have an aluminium radiator they can weld AN fittings to. So a clamp is needed that doesn't look like you bought it at bunnings.

Oh and as a side note, if you need LS Series coils and plug tails for the more serious ignition systems, think capable of 1000+ Hp igniting methanol ;) Send me a PM. Prices are very reasonable.

If I sell all this hose I still wouldn't come out in front if I took into consideration the hours of testing and development. Then again cars and making them fast is a passion of mine and Mitchell's so for us this is a side project. It gives us the ability to purchase hose at reasonable prices with outstanding performance. I'm just nice enough to pass it on. This hose is as good as Earls or any other product on the market and I would be happy to put it up against any product price vs performance. Its super flexible and can bend happily at 4 x OD. I'm an Engineer by trade and perfection is the only answer. Half suck products, and half suck workmanship just don't cut it in my books. Some of the cheap stuff is ok, so if you get onto a good one stick with them. Just be watchful as it ages for brittleness and tolerance to the harsher fuels. You can check by pulling a hose end off and rubbing your finger around inside the hose. If it comes out black your in strife. Our braided hose is very tolerant to e85, meth and so forth. The Teflon based hose is 100% compatible. You could leave the fuel in the lines forever and it would never eat it away.
