Nice piece guys! If it's anything like the BA interCOOLER it should be a great performer.

Are you sure you want to put that into a TURBO motor? I didn't see any rolled fillets.

That's a nice unit! So how does a guy get a hold of DLS? Do they have a phone number or web site?

I am really excited about this product, has anyone run one yet?
This sounds too good to be true, but I heard they were on sale at $399 for a limited time only. Come and get them while they are hot!

Rods 6.350 $529.95

How does one fit these into the block? Is the pin height on the piston raised? If so does this affect the ring land? I guess these will be custom pistons. Will a run for the 4.1L be made? Maybe some .020 over ones.
Just asking.

Thanks for the info.

So far i believe Louie Lopez is pushing one of the chinese cranks pretty far.
He has run low 9s with one of the 3.400 versions
