200 for howards caps
100 for arp main studs
650 total

Not sure what your looking to build but I run two bolt mains with ARP studs. I shift at about 6500, no problems with four years on this build.

The Howards pn is H350S. 10* splayed so less chance of hitting the water jacket.

Are you staying naturally aspirated or are you going to a turbo/super-charger setup?
