Main Stud Girdle Kits

unless somebody does an ABA test to see the effect of a girdle, I think it's all just speculation that they are a waste of $$$ (or a benefit for that matter) - I certainly can't see it hurting anything??? Seems pretty bold to say they don't do anything - I would love proof either way - I keep reading that one should just get a better block if going above 500 hp...well, where do you get those? in this day of halfway decent heads, strokers and roller cams, 500 hp is a cakewalk, so for the few extra hundred bucks, why wouldn't you install one??

ok, I just looked - I didn't know you could still buy new r3 blocks - duh.......3+ grand though - ouch...
