not really necessary in a street application IMO, just go with proven "H" bearings

I read a lot of the serious nitrous guys use them.

I dont think there is any con, but it helps protect the surface of the bearing and also will let you know of any potential problems if you tear down your engine on a regular basis.

cons. Only one is price.

its only real advantage would be if you have a track only car running 0 oil pressure at the end of your run, the coating is sacrificial and saves you from scarring the crank or spinning a bearing.

so a extra 100$ street or strip would be worth it just wondering why everyone ant't running them, seems like a good investment.

Like Wicked mentioned, it's beneficial if you're a track-only car and constantly break down the motor. Your average street/strip car owner isn't going to bother inspecting the bearings on a regular basis. By the time you have an issue and you're down to the coating, it's going to be too late anyway, so save the $$$.

It's not a lifeboat for a street car.

if you leave the line and slosh the oil to the back of the pan these will save you...or if you have a oiling problem and dont notice for a few seconds...
