Bill,

IMHO, you must not really be driving your car hard or on real hills.  Metal 
masters suck!  I could kill those in a day on either our 1990 V8 or our '91 
V8 5-speed - both since sold.  Porterfield R4s was ok for the street, but 
ultimately, BIRA system 1 or 3 is the MINIMUM I would recommend for those 2 
ton beasts driven with any aggression.

Regards,

John
