I have been to WAGS shop and checked out his stuff. He had one of his bravo's opened up for new lower gears after 2 seasons. This was his Formula 382 with 650-675HP. I believe he said they had about 200 hours on those gears. The top caps are well built and will be on my Top Gun when the deal happens.

Yea it looks like a nice piece, and with bearings and all installed I was told it is an unbolt the old and bolt in the new type of installation. I would imagine its way better for cooling with the water actually flowing through the cap, and dumping down the side of the case vs just pouring over the top cap.
I wonder how the water passages in the cap effect the strength vs say the teague cap that has no passenges? My only though on that is the cap keeps downward pressure more then side to side from my understanding, but not 100% on that.

They are significantly stronger than the factory caps. There is additional material in the bearing area to prevent case flex under load. The water passage is above the mounting flange so there should not be any issue with cap flex. Give him a call he is always good to talk to.
