You would not have to account for more thermal expansion like you would with the 2618 alloy. This should mean less wear, less oil consumption, etc. Just my understanding from Googling.

Also, even with c38 power levels, would 1/2" ARP studs be overkill? I'm under the impression that smaller ARP studs would suffice.

Curious to see what your rocker solution will be as well. I thought the valve spring upgrades would be enough until I saw the Element Tuning thread as well.

Just some thoughts. Good luck!

The studs may be overkill, I think I'm more concerned about the required machining though.

I'll have to look into the alloy stuff, thanks for mentioning that. Could be something to ask the manufacturers, but Mike may know as well.

And yeah, the rockers... I don't know. I messaged Mike at CSG for some insight there.
