Ill be looking for a good bit more than 1200whp, so i am in the same boat if not worse. My block and heads are both o-ringed, so Im hoping that will help a good bit. My block was also drilled for 1/2 inch studs. Regardless, Im pretty much content with the fact if I want to make 1600whp, the motor is going to push water.

I have a friend that cemented the block , 4 bolt and didn't push water. The two extra 8mm bolts aren't the whole answer. It's the extra 60lbs of webbing in the block. I have oring, et heads and half inch studs. There's no way the heads are lifting! Other four bolt blocks run more power not pushing water. JMO.

L19 studs a option? I have been doing some research the last few days. I have a catch can so I can check it. I have the 5 or 6 layer GM MLS gaskets with ARP Studs and LQ9 heads or LS3 type.
