There is no risk in having it, only a risk in not having it if you are running more power than stock.

This is my professional opinion.


Basically you have a rotor that has clearence for operating in what the stock form was engineered for. By increasing combustion pressure you are going to move the rotors back and for more often and with more force risking the rotor touching the side plates....

The rotors don't move side to side during flex. They are boxed in and float on the eshaft. When flex occurs the rotor is being tilted with the eshaft that deflects with the load that is being put on it. If anything contacts the irons, it is the corners of the rotor.
