Gotcha. But if you’re not going above the 600 mark a halo will do just fine.

Could also go the 4 bolt main conversion route. I was skeptical about them before but I know a few racers who successfully have used these with no issues. Just bought a set myself!

You mean four bolt main caps and not use a halo girdle?
