Karl from NMS doesnt use long studs and he is running a lot of hp
I think if you use long studs you have to get somthing done with the oil ways
One of the tuners may enlighten us.

 

a LOT of tuners use long studs , some dont i think if you listen to everyone youll just get confused to be honest.

personally i run long studs and a wrc gasket and not had any problems
