Any lawyers in the house?? What does "sole and absolute discretion" mean??

I had several 5.0 class racers tell me to wack the pedestals for studs. So I asked Bruce one year at Somona. His answer............"absolutely no"

I run the oem rocker, fulcrum and bolt with a shimmed lifter, works just fine.
Your mileage may vary.
Granted...I use pedestal mount myself. My point was "if" someone were determined to go with studs I would absolutely forgo that conversion crap for a conventional stud arrangement.
