Cometics are notorious for being touchy.. heads and block have to be perfect and even then they don't work sometimes. The reckon Felpros are idiot proof.

yeah i know they can be abit of a pain but thats what my engine builder/mate wants to use as he uses them is his own ls2 turbo engine and has run 20+psi and work fine so i guess we will see how they go, thinking of buying direct port nitros for the fun of it also as the dollar is so good to us atm lol.....
