Default LT4 Hotcam Stud girdle
Would the valvetrain with an LT 4 Hotcam benefit any with a studgirdle?

My uneducated guess would be that it is overkill unless you are planning on spinning it to 7000 rpm. I went with 7/16 studs for the piece of mind. (some even consider that overkill) In the end it just depends on what you are going to do with the engine.

Well I thought so but I was just looking at the size of the springs and thought maybe the studs might flex some. Just thought I would do an opinion check.
