    They are expensive.
    Rick, are you sure :? :?

    Ive done a little research and they are the best priced by far AND they come with ARP 2000 rod bolts, not a bad deal for ?585 all in.

    Please prove me wrong tho :wink:

    Rick,
    Rather than bragging, how about telling him where from? Help the fellow nova owner and all that....

    You need to get a few of you together to do a group buy or they will be the same price as RSC ones. Stick a post up on MIG and here possibly to try and get say 4/5 of you together to buy them. I will send you his email address.
