Question: ALS Apex Seals & Gas Fuels
Has anyone used ALS Apex seals for running 15psi on 93pump gas and high boost application using c16/high octance fuels? I'm interested after seeing the carnage from 13bRX3's engine pictures he posted. The seals did not break after severe detontation and the housings were in great condition.
13bRX3, runs methanol and since that fuel is alot cooler then gas i'm interested to know how they hold up to heat from a high boost gas motor. I'm used to running stock OEM 2mm seals in all my motors and have not ventured off to try any other seals. I know someone has had to try them out with gas and high boost 28+psi. Any info would be appreciated...

I know www.eastcoastparts.com is a big seller of them. You could probably shoot them a email or call Edgar. He even posts on here so he might see this.

I am running the ALS 2mm's, edgar at eastcoastparts told me that right after the rebuild that they'd put out 90psi compression. I thought they were full of ****.... I was wrong!!! 90-100psi on all faces, both rotors. I'm looking forward to putting some meth & boost into them and see how it goes!
