The extra money will be worth it when you can hit the juice and not worry about blowing those expensive parts all over the track!

advertise what you already have in the block and try to get rid of it, then start over with a 4-bolt.

If you think that it's not going to hold with two bolt caps,then splay is the way. I've heard that it's actually stronger that way,now that's hear say,but that is what I would do.

You could do a set of ARP main studs for alot cheaper than having the block splayed. Depends on how hard you're turning the thing and how much gas you're spraying.

Well, i mean there's no real way of telling how many horses it will have so i guess to be on the safe side i should just get the four bolt caps put on.
thanks for the help,
Derrick
