I am begining to start a build and keep going back and forth about running main studs. who here are running them and who are not? The motor will have a s475 on to start with and then be twinned after my bank account recovers from the build lol.
main studs

Do main studs. They aren't extremely expensive. And what good is a badass set of rods if they are gonna come unglued
X2 , I have ran plenty with out them so it can be done , but considering the bolts need to be replaced any way ( one time use / torque to yield ) the extra cost to do main studs in worth it IMOP , and don't even change the cost of a build by more than a few hundred dollars once you subtract the cost of stock main bolts .
With main studs yes , you have to have the line hone touched up with the studs torqued down to the new spec .
ok, thanks guys. I was just curious to see what some of you would say. Trying to keep the build cost down and def. dont want to cut any corners at this point. And henry, after x-mas i have a nice list of parts to get from ya.
