Better and bigger head bolts wont do much ARP head studs are the best thing you can do after that you need the six bolt blocks cause the heads are flexing not the bolts

We machined this particular block to our dealer's specs but we do offer the "Bronze Lifter Bushings" as an option on all our LS applications. We have them for solid or hydraulic applications.

Anyone considering RHS LS Race Block? Does it fit the bill?

No one has talked about nitrous applications so I'm going to put my 2 cents in. I built a LSX 427 nasty solid roller nitrous motor. I'm tired of the heads lifting, watering the track, head bolts stripping in the aluminum block, etc with nitrous. Sure there is another 125 lbs of weight on the front but it's worth it in the long run. 6 bolts anchoring 1/2 studs into iron is a much better design then aluminum with nitrous.
How much were you spraying?

Don't tell me it's a "CROCK" as I'm sure you know everything about everything since your LS2 block ran a 400 shot for years and had good success. Good for you. My block thread stripped and the head stud let go on "one bolt" and it was time to go a different direction after that.
