The point of long studs is NOT to inrease clamping force, but to spread the load of the force on the headbolts/stud and block. All I am going to say is why have 99% of engine builders reccomended them since they have become avaliable.

Anthing over 400BHP IMHO is worth long studding, why take the risk?
