Just like I use 888's on a racetrack because I need the grip, and I accept the shorter life, but I wouldnt use them on a motorway as they offer me nothing I need for that driving and still wear out quickly.
You seem to think that its "one size fits all" with YB's and IMHO that just shows your knowledge isnt as broad as some other people who will build an engine correctly specced to work with what it is required for, which is often moderate power for a long time, not massive power for a short time.
Same with pistons, I think anyone putting cosworth racing pistons in a 400bhp road motor is a fool and if they knew what they were doing they would use Mahle's instead.
the above post goes to show that you will just choose to listen to who you want..
How can long studding an engine be speccing it wrongly???
And how does that make me less knowledgeable about engine building just because i choose to long stud one???
Where did i ever say we were speccing a engine for massive power over a short time???
The question is do long studs work and are they needed on 500 bhp+??
The fact is yes on both accounts imo and in yours they are not..dont try and word things to make it look like i dont know what im saying and your far superior when it comes to building a yb because imo your wrong and whatever you say on this matter wont change my mind or many others who build many big power ybs...
