I'm thinking seriously of getting one of these, but I have a question.

The Summit website has the following 'blurb' listed in the 'overview' of the part:

"Chevrolet: 1975-85 262-400, oil pan gasket

This Fel-Pro OEM oil pan gasket set is ideal for stock replacement use. This gasket is not intended for race applications."

My question is, why would it say "...not intended for race applications"?
