I don't want to state who is right or wrong....

I just used my good sens to build a bullet proof bottom for 7000rpm engine and not worry....

The small block get a lot of twisting above 600hp,
and 7k, so I put every thing to keep it together....If they use it in big block, high rpm, it should as good in a lighter small block stroker....see my point ?

Too bad there are no tests or more infos on the matter......just experience
