Re: Main Girdles
A stud girdle provides very little in making a block stronger. It will help a little as far as cap walk but the main job of the girdle is to keep the internals in place.. Here is another piece that helps is block split.. http://www.horsepowersales.net/main.html

According to everything I've seen, they're a waste of $$$. If your blocks going to split, it's going to split right along the bearing caps. All the girdle does it keep everything together after the block splits.

No they are not a waste of money for 2 reasons 1. They do help in reducing or eliminating cap walk 2. It keeps your rotating assy contained in the block in case of major failure.. If you split the block why not at least try and save your crankshaft? Imagine havin your block split 3\4 of the way down the strip at 100+ mph and it bounces off the track and comes through the floor and rips your cock and balls off...

I appreciate the responses, I do understand the concept of the girdle, just unsure if that equated to more power potential. Anyhoo thank you all for the responses.
