I started a thread with them that had 2,800 1/8 passe's on them, they took them apart and looked brand new............impressive.

I've started using them in savage Street engines & endurance racing, not enough miles on any of them yet to see if they're where it's at.
But on paper they seem ideal.

Those profiles were designed for endurance racing, so they're not aggressive.
