No, like arp studs. The money spent on stud girdles can be spent on the studs.

I'm saying afr studs are OEM material, nothing upgraded about them. Sbf AFR heads use to have chevy valves. If you want something thats strong you need to use something else.

Ben mentioned adding a couple hundred horsepower capacity to a sbf using valley and main girdles. That mean you're taking a stock block ford from 500rwhp capacity to 700rwhp capacity. No, just no, a...

Completely different engine OHV vs OHC. The 4.6 in the cobra is good for about 800rwhp on stock internals. Modular motors were meant for boost. Sbf not so much. I definitely think it makes a HUGE...

Hard to compare. Rons motor is a freak, plus a centri is a totally different stress then a roots. Hundreds of guys with sbf's are having head gasket issues with studs. Just not a good deck.

Just if we're comparing studs to bolts there is no reason to run bolts over studs. We should especially consider the type of blower going on to RXsnake. Carb and a roots style should have studs.
