Default Stock ls3 mains vs Callies billet vs Katech

What is the hp/tq limit on the stock mains?

If I plan on 650hp/tq should I go with the billet or will the ARP 2000 bolts be enough?

12-15lbs of boost max through a twin screw on a 416

What say you?

No one?

Just wondering if the $400 is worth it. Planning a boosted 416 and 8-1000rwhp 18+psi

The stock mains will hold that amount of power. And arp the bottom end thats a no brainer.

I used stock ls2 mains (with ARP studs) and they lived all season at ~1800fwhp

at a MINIMUM you need to pin them though to keep them from moving
