I've been pondering the concept of the use of a lash cap and could never get a clear idea of when and/or how to use a lash cap to increase fueling. Finally, finally found a clear description on how to properly fit up lash caps!!

Fyreant has a great set of "how to"s in this forum of which I am using like a series of classes on the LT1 engine. Kudos to Fryeant for all of his hard work on the corvette forum.

Good read, thx

Thanks for the link. It makes me wonder why some companies say even with the 32% lobe you dont need a lash cap.

Thanks that helped me visualize what all this lash cap talk was all about for a noob.

I had come across that post on Corvette Forum several days ago. Its a good explanation, but ensuring the lash cap gets installed correctly by the shop doing one's build would still be a worry for me. And how many shops install them without using the tool.

A valid point, but at least now you are armed with some knowledge. If you are thinking about having a shop install a lash cap, say, with a cam kit, you can query them on how they plan to approach the installation and see if they use this approach.

I'm planning on a major tune later on. Even though the local speed shop has a great reputation regionally, I still have a laundry list of questions I plan to ask when I get the tune done. In particular, how do they plan to approach a possible fueling issue if they run out of headroom on fuel delivery. A lash cap will be part of that discussion.
