Ok i'm in the process of ordering parts piece by piece for my forged LS2. I was wondering if installing ARP Main Studs is a must for my build. Its between going and buying a set of new main bolts or ARP studs. This is going be a full street car with a big shot of nitrous. It will rarely see the track but will be beaten on when its on the street. I would like to spray a 200-250 shot through a standalone. So would it be a must put ARP's in there? Thanks

^Exactly. Like his 200-250 shot of nitrous isn't necessary, but he's going to do it anyway.
I have them AND head studs on my N/A 408 @ 11.5:1 comp, just for extra insurance. Paid full price for the main studs, and got the head studs for a banging deal about 4-ish years ago...like 90.00for a full set type deal.

Power level alone does not determine the need for studs/bolts over stock bolts. 700 n/a...you might be ok, the same power on a 250 shot is going to push the stock stuff to it's limits.
Why even take the chance? I built my n/a 370 with studs. It was already apart so why not?
