I'm worried about using the -SE style front-cover/engine mount with my next motor. I'm going to be running slicks on an 8.8 with an ACT puck clutch and extreme pressure-plate. I intend to do some pretty hard launches using anti-lag, and I want to know if the front-cover style mount will hold. Has anyone ever cracked or broken a front-cover from torque-stress? Would a torque brace help? If so, which is the best?
