You will have less rotateing friction with a set of shaft mounts as well over a stud design.

is 5whp worth $1300

There are much better ways to spend $1300 if you are looking for power, an electric waterpump will give you the same HP for 600, or a metanol kit will let you raise the boost on pump.

Now if you were going to run a small solid roller cam to spin your motor to 7500-8000 rpm then they make plenty of sense.
