Here are a couple comparing them with stock studs:
A full technical write-up will be up in the next few days regarding these head studs.

Art,
The 12 mm studs will remedy most of the upward forces on the head, however they do very little for the lateral forces. Are you having the heads machined for some type of cut washer to address this issue?

You have my number brother. I will most likely be surfing on Sunday morning in Malibu. Give me a call, maybe we can have a nice beer.

Chad,
Yes, Betim has already thought about that and it is being addressed. I will have them chime in later to explain the whole thing. Wish me luck brother, I just heard that one of the TT Gallardo's made 1300rwhp and weighs less than my car. But Porsche is a Porsche, we will see what happens. I have a few races set up which VR will be there also. I hope you finish your car soon too so we can meet up somewhere and chat more bro. Cheers

Art,
I just went through your whole thread. Very nice!
I was looking at the pic of your case. It is not shuffle pinned. Did you have it done after?
Here is what it looks like. Note the extra set of shuffle pin holes on each side of the crank mains.

Chad,
Thanks bro. Not as extensive as your research and development but maybe a 1/4 of it I gotta check on that to for you, I will remember to address both questions for you. Cheers my friend.

It is a fairly inexpensive piece of machine work that prevents your crank from moving forward or back. This is insurance from breaking a crank, especially at high rpm's.

Two last question ...... did you do anything with your liner oilers? Did you have your wrist pins black carbon coated to eliminate any chance of galling and the resulting wrist pin seizing. Again, cheap insurance.

. Did you have any R and D data that suggested 1 set of shufflepins are inadequate? Thanks, Kevin
