sorry, might be a dumb question, but searches weren't coming up with anything. I looked back in old magazines and one said MT-90, but I can't find that anywhere, at least not Autozone or Advance. Thanks.

I've heard MT90 was good.

http://www.comptechusa.com/store/620022.htmlthats from a quick google search...i didnt really look so maybe you shouldnt buy it from there persay. I bought all of mine online, but if you want to get it locally i suggest go to a local performance shops, they should carry them. if not, they might be able to order it for you.

good luck!
