Not really applicable to a street strip car but interesting none the less.

I saw these while perusing the article. I'm thinking not for a street car but who knows. I'm off to do some research.

Interesting either way, at least to me.

Interesting stuff on tire pressures and DA affecting downforce.
Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but BAD GUYS do!

I have them in a sprint car engine. 2.08 Ti intake valves @ 9000rpm, service life is double what we run with the standard rollers at less rpm. That said, its a cost savings for us to run them. YMMV
