Default Cosworth head studs

Looking to run good spec on my cosworth but was kinda hoping to get away without using long studs, can anyone tell me what the most power anyone has ran on arp studs?

I will bit the bullet n long stud if needs be.

I *think* NMS has done over 500bhp on normal studs? Depends what you think is a good spec though?

Gt35, ported head 26in 24out i think, ahmed cams again i think without lookin, 7.4 comp 200 block etc etc.

Really need to know if the arp head studs are worth a go or not.

Someone said 500bhp on standard bolts up the thread, any idea how long it lasted?

if you are going to long stud it then do it properly

think people have hd problems after 400 / 450 bhp with them

the standard head bolts are used in 500 plus bhp cars with no problem

pm jimbo or someone they will put you in the right direction mate
