Ok, finally read through that entire thread, no discussion of copper/no copper, but I think I want to go no copper this time around.
The head studs will get replaced no matter what, but there is a tipping point for deciding between a new set of standard ARPs and the L19s: ultimately, my goals are around 400whp (dyno dynamics). Yup, so I'm pretty much there now and happy. The safe limit of the stock bottom end is around 420whp. Let's say I get the head ported while it's off, install it with L19's and get retuned and make a peachy 425whp. If for some reason the same conditions are met in which I lifted the head in the first place, and the L19's hold, what will happen? Will the bottom-end take it? Will I much rod bearings? Will I blow a hole in my block?
