Yes there are many on a alcohol car. Aircraft Spruce is one, Trick Titanium in Troy Mi is another...

I had to order a whole bunch of Ti bolts for the NPS Camaro we built at High Speed a couple years ago. $1500 worth of bolts cut about 3 pounds of weight out of the car.

Unless it's rotating weight, you can get the same effect on ET/MPH by taking a laxative before the race.

Better make that 'well before the race' or you'll be creating your own 'tracks'!

Yea they charge $10.00 each for inspection cover bolt on my bellhousing and your required to buy new ones every year when they reinspect it. The four Ti 7/8 bolts that are in my mid plate that help hold the bellhousing on are 40.00 bucks each.

There's lot's of titanium in this picture of one of my motors. You can see the four large bolts that help hold the bellhousing on that I was talking about. Cell phone picture. Ti donut and spacers in the clutch. All the attaching hardware is ti,bellhousing, mid plate mounts,valve springs and retainers, on and on. Do you know how many studs are in a TAD motor?

Yeah, MCmaster may have 'em, but be aware that to have strength, you have to get 6AV4L type bolts and nuts.

Trick I learned Sprint Car racing in Cal. You might find one or two bolts like that on my car, I said might.
