Nice work so far... VaSpeed guys just left you front desk guy a message for a quote on a catback swap on a 2003 vert... or just removing the OEM pipes.
While they may have 6 bolts holding the main caps,only 4 are doing anything and they are small.You figure these fasteners were designed to handle 400hp a lighter rotating asy and 6200rpm.Add 50% more power,5% more rotating weight and 10% more rpm,the fasteners are just not happy.This is the main reason the ls7 main caps are doweled.
