At what HP /rpm level are billet main caps and or stud girdle needed?

Milodon makes the best caps. Not only use billet but also get side bolts like Hemis and Mega blocks . Milodon side bolts are 7/16 , Other brands are 3/8's. Hard block is used when the bores are found thin during sonic testing. Big strokers should also be hard blocked before boring to prevent thin walls from distorting. Your house is only as strong as the foundation you build it on.
