ARP cam cap hardware? Nice lol. Seems a bit excessive but I guess with the lumpier cams and heavier springs it can't hurt.
I'd be afraid of flexing the caps before the bolts gave out though.

**** the bolts holding it on the engine stand r Arp lol.
I started machining a 1 pice cap for each cam. I put it asided to have this 2.4 done sooner. Ill Proly do it to my 2.0 wen i rip it all apart.
your nitrous is the problem for that
the caps don't need redesigned the caps are designed to flex for a reason just as the bolts are and that is so you don't pull the threads out just like arp makes the head stud flexible for that reason some wheels don't need reinventing

Lol i know i just like giving Steve a hard time about it.
I told him not to hold anything back Wen he comes up to tune my car on the dyno. If it pops it pops not his fault.
I spoke with bates several times about it. He's the one That actually gave me the idea about it. He said im already pushing it with really high compression and boost. Building a girdle will ensure the valve train stays in place. They had issue with that part of the valve train on there 14,000 rpm engines. Something they never got to fix before the program was stopped or Wat ever shut it down.
Ur totaly right though having That stiffened up might not last long on the street.
