1/2 inch head studs, yes or no

I'm looking for opinions. Is it worth it or that there's no point. Like if you think you need them you should have gone with a 6 bolt block anyways.

Not sure how much this will help you but.... I'll be using 1/2" studs on my twin turbo LS3 build. I'm looking to push over 1000RWHP thru a TH400.

The question is, what power are you planning on making?

I'm hoping 6 to 700 wheel. But car will be road raced. So reliability is my big goal.

Friend of mine maxed out his S475 on a 347/C4 combo. It did 874whp/775wtq at 17psi.

don't waste you're money for 700 rwhp ls9 gaskets and regular studs will do it. reliability will come with a good tune and keeping things cool on the road course
