Keep repeating that if it makes you feel better, but that girdle plate does not hurt anything, nor does it help anything.
Feel free to post a FEA simulations to make me see the advantage they provide.


Why would I post FEA simulations? We have this same setup still running and racing in the same cars since 2010? Thousands of passes on them. And even if I did have data like that, people like you still would not believe it anyways.And you can't prove it does anything but add weight, so to each there own, but I have seen a lot of +.030 440's blow up at the drags that didn't have a big arm in them and no girdle. SO in my mind, we have the data, even if its not in the form you require.,
