    M90 car, from zzp s3 to aluminum heads, had zero gains to be noticed. Almost full weight running low 11.6x's... after the fact.. high 11.5x ... and it was
    hard to tell if it was down to tune or launch, ect.. either way, to me wasn't worth it for performance. Weight drop is nice, but really need to drop hundreds of
    pounds to start getting big gains. 35lbs off a heavy car.. not gonna see much.

    Only good thing, is when a L26 engine we strapped em to blew 2 pistons out the sides on 2nd run, the heads were able to be repaired and look like new again.
    That this is a nice plus. Easy to get repaired.
