Better check w/ T&D on how much torque they want to see used w/ their shafts. Just because ARP says 50#s doesn't mean the shafts can stand up to that much w/o getting "squished" out of round at the mounting points.
He uses rocker stands. Shouldn't apply.
You don't think those aluminum stands will distort if torqued too much? Maybe he needs to check w/ the maker of the stands on how they think 50#s will work out.
You may be 100% right, but having ovaled good shafts using nice steel hold-downs and far less torque, I'm a lil' suspect.
