Anyone that tries running the original screw set will definately be reaching for the Dremmil. I wanted to prove that the original screw set would be adequate so after reading Jimmy's build up of the 501 I coated all of the recessed faces of the screws in grease to stop the screw biting in so hard against the carbon chassis.Its a given,you need to put some kind of lock cement on the threads as the screws WILL shake loose.I guess it all comes down to the kind of stress you are puting the car under.To give you an idea of the tracks I run on I'll burn a set of Proline Hole Shots down in less than 2 runs.Stock drivers will get atleast a whole meet out of a pair or maybe even a couple of meets.Stubornly I ran the kit screws for a while but when it came to stripping the car down for service there were about a dozen that gave me real trouble getting out.
