With testing at MRLS in the bag, I can finally say that I feel confident putting these on sale. Sonny (VagaXT) graciously took the crane setup off his FM manifold, put the Inconel studs in, and hammered on it for a day and a half with absolutely no issues.

Savington, Did you ever end up putting in a session or two of driving on these studs? If we order now will it still be the 60 days or so until we get them?
I will probably end up sending you money in about 2 weeks. I have to wait tell my next paycheck for some more cash.

Edit.
Has he done any track days since then? I am just curious about longevity of them. I will assume if he does more on them you will re measure them correct?

No, no track days since the testing on the 10th and 11th. I wish it were possible.
I will have him do a few more track days on them and then remove them for inspection/measurement. My biggest worry is the condition of the threads inside the manifold - orion4096's car was set up with Resbond and copper lockers and the mild studs didn't deform, but they eventually just disintegrated and blew out of the manifold.

In edition to the double header at MRLS, I went two days later to a kart track and abused it on that tight but fast track, much like a faster version of an auto-x, which I would chalk up as about a half track day equivalently.

I dropped my block off at the machine shop last night. That means I have just a few weeks until I am ready for my build. Which means I need more cheap guys to get in on this group buy so that I can have my studs for my build.

I want to get these made as much as you guys do. I'll see if I can float the money. If I can, I'm going to close this early and I will charge more than I was originally expecting to to make up the difference, probably ~150-160. If you're on the fence, get off of it.
