Question Bravo 1 top cap options

I saw this on you tube

http://wagsengineering.com/products/...-aluminum-cap/

I am looking into options to upgrade the top cap on my B1

Saw the Teague Billet cap and the BilletMarine cap

What else is out there?

Thanks

Max Machine Worx. They build a super strong aluminum cap I think its now 1.5" thick, and has a Chromoly Steel race and tower assembly bolted into it, This is the deal. Also you drill your drive and replace the 3/8" bolts with a 7/16" stud kit. Real good upgrade, to keep your stack in line.

I believe it also has the larger vert. shaft bearing in the cap already, Don't know if you are adding horsepower, but while your in there, Max sells a real robust bearing that goes in the gears themselves, You have to remove the stocker and its race, and then you can utilize their bearing which has much larger diameter, caged rollers. They are not too expensive and so much stronger.
