Re:main bolts

Main studs on all b-series motors can handle some serious abuse, I wouldnt worry about upgrading them. For 350 at the wheels I'd assume you already have aftermarket rods, if not the LS rod bolts are pretty weak and would definatly need to be upgraded.

Re:main bolts

ARP makes some good rod bolts for an upgrade as well. You should look into them.

Re:main bolts

CHEAP and EASY upgrade. I've notice them good for stock and some abuse on them but FOR I I'm lsvtecing mine and notice the rod bolts breaking on alot of other lsvtec's I think the cuase is the extra rev's. I'm doing a whole build anyway so poops LOL
