Is there another brand piston that will fit to achieve 6 by 1.5 piston. How are you modifying current pistons.

I bought a set of ae tapered blanks to make mine. They are pre dimpled to ease in drilling.

We run the LRC plate on all of our vehicles. Helps everywhere.

No plans for an aluminum throttle servo horn at this time. We really haven't had a need for an aluminum version. We'll keep an eye on it though, others have requested it. The issue is that we have to make 3 different versions of it and the production minimums and stocking them all for a small expensive part is hard to justify. Especially when the stock horn works so well.

Is the LRC block basically lower the inner hinge pin? Could this be accomplished by making a pill that slam the hinge pin in the current toe block? Just tryin to visualize what the lrc block does.

Correct. This part was based off of the BMI LRC inserts. The only issue with the inserts were not enough material around the hinge pin and only center dot was available. So with the new LRC block, you use the stock inserts and have full adjustability. You can use the BMI inserts in conjunction with the LRC block and get it really low.

Yes the stock horn works great, until you take it off and on a bunch of times. Gets a little loose on the servo then. No problem though I will just make sure I have a spare set of plastic ones on hand.

The pills do the same thing but I went through this with my AE car and a new toe block is a much easier solution. It's not cheaper up front but it allows you to use the inexpensive pills instead of having to buy the Low RC inserts in all the different dots.

Yes Danny you could combine this with the LRC insets but it gives a ton of anti squat at that point without a lower anti squat plate. A bunch of anti squat along with the LRC is usually counterproductive . At least it was on the AE car. Maybe the tekno would react better.

For people planning on using this it also changes your anti squat so if you have a setting you like you will need to drop it one dot along with the plate.

Has anyone used the Aluminum rear drive shaft? I just replaced my twice bent stock drive shaft so I wonder if the aluminum one is any better.
