Which main/rod bearings?

[Chevy1925]

Ok, lookin at bearing and not quite sure which way to go. Motor will be seeing 650-700hp max and daily driven on a 500-550hp tune. Will the H clevites cause crank wear quicker or will the reg clevites not last long under those conditions? money for either isnt the issue, jsut curious as to if either one suits a driving condition better.

I am running H series. IMHO the stockers do not hold up well to the beating from big cylinder pressures and big torque #'s.

If you run the right oil and live in warm climates or let the truck warm up before driving.

DD get the H for the most part and i use Cenpeco 20W 50 race oil and have had the very best results with it.
