missing header bolts

mak375 · 04-25-2003, 12:00 PM

i was on my way to the track last week when i noticed i was missing 2 header bolts, they were too far back for me to get at. I went to the track anyways, but i was wondering how much missing them might have effected my time.

Would missing 2 little bolts change my 1/4 mile times at all?

They would. but I don't think you would feel any difference it would be so minute. I too have the same problem, I have to check my header bolts every other week and tighten them back up, soon I'm getting a set of Stage 8 Locking Header bolts, you should check them out. ~Brian
