Looking for a 6 degree trigger wheel. I remember Lamonster had one and Airlake. Is one better than the other? Where's the best place to purchase?

You do know that your top end will drop a little don't you?  Mine would top out at about 105 after installation.  Mine worked fine, but others seemed to have trouble, supposedly the Airlake had a shape more like the OEM.  You could go here
http://www.jkozloski.com/Trigger.htm and modify your OEM.
I don't remember if you have had your belts off on a previous occasion, but be very very, I mean extremely careful to mark all the pulleys with white-out on the belts and the cam pulleys and crank pulley so that you don't let it slip a tooth.  Lots of folks have bent valves when changing belts.  Mine slipped on one side from valve spring tension, but I noticed and corrected before I cranked up.

If so, you probably don't want the 6 deg. wheel. I've had the 4 deg. installed with the I/S ICM for over five years and it gives me all I need. The I/S ICM already gives you a couple degrees on top of the trigger wheel.

Top out at 105!!!??? running a 6° on my '97 ('96 #1040) and would um exceed that greatly, even with a passenger.
