    45° degree angle on stainless bolt on cav plate or straight...stv euro

    Can some clear the air for me... I've seen both type of bolt on cavitation plates, 1 straight and 1 with 45 degree bent wings at the ends, going to bolt 1 onto my stv euro, i have the straight plate, what is the point to having the ends bent... should i leave it straight or bend the plate? Will be used for drag racing and lake cruising. Thanks

    The bent down wings create more pressure/lift than a flat plate.

    Makes sense... thanks rock! Guess I'll be chucking the plate in the old bend press!
