    The absolute best there is, look at the temperature rating. When I raced bicycles I used this stuff on everything Ti. to Ti. bolts. Ti., Stainless & Aluminum machined aluminum bolts ( no coatings / Anodizing ) in freshly taped aluminum & Ti. holes. Spark plugs in aluminum heads, Stainless 02 sensors in 304 SS bungs and tighten the crap out of them. The only negative is you think Anti-seize you use now gets everywhere you don’t have a clue this stuff is 10x worse! Worth its weight in gold. We only had one bolt seize but that was because someone forced a 5/16 fine tread bolt into a 6mm taped hole. The treads are so close that they are next to impossible to tell by looking. Now don’t quote me on the SAE size because it was a long time ago. But someone forced a SS bolt into a Ti. hole.

    Ya….thats all I ever use is the nickel based anti seize. Copper based is messy. Got it right next to me here at work.

    @tacotunner06 are you still using the brushed spal fans that came with your Ron Davis? I just picked up a new set from them, $600 later, and I guess spal now makes brushless ones. I wonder if they’re any different than the Steele brushless. They offer 500 more CFM than the brushed version each, which I think would be beneficial, but they’re not as simple to wire up at all. They have their own proprietary sensors and harnesses and stuff for them. Brushed is 0 risk and it will just work if you jam power into it, but I feel like every CFM of air matters at this point.

    yeah, still running the brushed, yeah there’s a way to bypass having to use spal’s stuff but you gotta figure out what pwm signal they use than figure out if your Holley can just replicate the same signal directly to the fan. I’ve read into it enough to know I can get my haltech to do it if I want but haven’t looked further since I haven’t had a problem with the brushed fans.
