head stud size for LSX
I'm building a 427 Lsx(6 bolt) that is going to make about 1100 hp at the crank(I hope), maybe more in the future. It is going to have TEA 245 heads and be blow through. My question is this, will the stock size hardware be enough to hold the heads down, Or should I step up to 1/2". I will be using ARP studs.

I think I will go with the Kurt Urban 1/2" studs, they are 1/2 the price of stock size ARP studs. Then there should be no question that I have enough clamping force. Thanks for the replies.
