how much power can your stock crank shaft bolts handle im just wondering since i got a friend that thinks his stock main cap bolts are going to be ok on his 385. I could of swore that those stock bolts are rated at 600hp or something but not positive thats why im asking.
i think he should get some nice bolts like ARP bolt or ??????????????

Competition Products in Oshkosh is a good source for this sort of stuff.
Thing is though he needs to use hardware of the type the block was line honed with. If it was line honed with stock bolts then I would recommend staying with a bolt. If the line hone is not done yet I would go ahead and do studs.
