Default Where to buy block guard (D-series)

I am looking for an STR block guard, but I cant seem to find any. I know they just changed their name, but if anyone knows a website or whatever where I can pick up a D-series (D16Z6) block guard from, that would be great!

Do you guys think this ones good?

I'm not too confident about those little bridge gaps, what if there is pressure there will it crack?

Are they good? I havent heard anything about them. But I really like that design, and also the price. I dont plan on having mine welded in. I've heard not so good things about welding in blockguards.

John stands behind his product...everyone I've known that's run one has had no problems...and John guarantees no overheating if properly installed. KMS is relatively quiet on the honda scene, but they have awesome service and products.

Even for around 350whp? Maybe a little more, maybe little less? Plus, it's only $100 and I would imagine it doenst HURT the cylinder walls, so why not?
