Alot of people have success with the stock seals. Reactive racing made 780 RWHP on stock seals, and i would venture to guess they are running a few ticks more boost then you are

stock 2 piece 2mm are pretty strong. Only problem is when they blow....they f*ck $hit up real bad.



The atkins seals on the other hand(2mm 2piece) are easy on the motor when they blow up. They normally dont mess anything up. I've blown 2 motors with the atkins seals in...not a ding or scratch on me. However, they dont' take well to high exhaust temps.



I'm currently using the rotary aviation apex seals(I'm the guinea pig I guess)...no problems so far. I've ran some pretty crazy a/f's with them(accidentally) and they're holding up fine for now.

For awhile, the hurley seals seemed to do well, but recently there have been a few people complaining about them.
