My understanding of the gtx line is they produce a lot more power up top, but lose spool time due to their full 11 fin design, instead of having half fins to help with low end spool

Does anyone have any idea of what the tread size might be for my ebc. It's a Gizzmo IBC-R but the solenoid looks identical to most other ebc setups. I thought 1/8npt but the thread is different.

Why can anyone help me out, my machine shop guy just asked me this:

"Do you have torque specs for the balance shaft assy? And there is a sheet metal plate between it and the block, do they recommend replacing it as it might act as a gasket?"

I know some of you have deleted your balance shafts so you may know this info... Any help would be appreciated.

I just reused that plate. I don't think that it matters. When I get home if I remember I will look at my Bentley manual on the torque spec. I hope they know about retiming the balance shaft too.

If they're out then leave them out. Run a 1.8T pump.

I was told the balance shafts themselves are 15nm, I assume thats what my machine shop guy was talking about, whats this about retiming the balance shafts?? I am going to drop off my arp flywheel bolts tomorrow, if there is anything else helpful i can tell him i.e. keeps machine shop from jacking up my engine, please do tell :)

Taking opionions on lowering compression with a headgasket, I know some of you have done it, two questions, is it worth it if I have 9:1 lower mahle compression pistions already and where can I get a head gasket that is for overbored 83mm pistons?
