Hughes main stud girdle - yes or no

A lot of money is waisted on unnecessary tricks and procedures. Like I stated before I am a budget builder and we beat the piss out of our engines at the track weekly. No girdles, no special ring packs, I can only remember line honing one big block because I put Billet caps on it. Never line honed a small block. probably giving up a hair here but never used torque plates for bore jobs, no belt drives and never used a vacuum pump. Let the insults fly but I never missed a year of Racing even after having a heart attach and going through a divorce. Budget is my middle name.
