I am upping turbos to TIAL Alpha 3076 and am looking at options.

If I go for a simple engine rod mod with Carillo rods, which headstuds are recommended.

Go with Raceware. ARP have been known to have issues. Let me know if you need a set of Raceware studs. info@butzigear.com

Raceware as it's used by all Protomotive builds as well as Tim, who obviously tests their limits.

Thx... due to your beloved IRS auditing me from 2007-08-09-10 and putting tax liens on me everywhere, telling me I owe them a cool Millsky (even though they owe me loot) I am tossing up whether I just build the engine with the rods and headstuds and leave the current set up which gets close to the rod bending torque limits in sub 40F temps here on E85

or

if I just upgrade to alpha 3076s and run lower boost to 4400 rpm and then amp it to higher levels above 5000 rpm targetting an easy 750 bhp and less than rod bending torque on E30 gas or so.

build the motor with rods and head studs and buy my 3071 turbos for 800+hp and the best of both worlds
