If you're over 300hp, then you should get one.

If your rebuilding your motor and trying to get some good horsepower out of it, while you have the head off put one in there...there only like $100 or so....it would be easier to put in while its apart than add it in later...

Yeah. Well, that one is $80, so I was kind of curious if it is worth it to slap in, while the block is at the machine shop. Or forget about it.
