Main studs do i need them?
Ok i have a ls2 with forged pistons and rods.. stock crank... d-1 procharged. I know i need head studs.... but do i really need main studs .. i mean these blocks are 6 bolt mains.. im used to the old BBC 4 bolt mains being the good ones. Do i need main studs with the power im making thanks

It's not a must for what you are doing. I have seen stock mains go well over 1000 HP without an issue. However, I personally like to use the ARP mains just for some added insurance and peace of mind. If you change them, definitely get it align honed! It's not a bad idea either way!
