I bought a FRPP timing chain with the steel cam gear. Then after I get it I see in the FRPP mag that it says " use with hardened thrust plate." The damn thing is like $50. My machinist said my stock one should be fine but what do you guys think?

there was an option in summit where you get the FMS roller chain/gears with the new thrust plate.
