Bottom end upgrades for 600hp?

stock block,eagle rods and crank,and RJC girdle..what else do I need? I bought the RJC kit over a year ago and I don't have it handy, but do I still need to buy studs? I can't recall if it came with them or not. Also, do I need the Billet main caps still? If not all of them, which ones? I know TA sells all the stuff I'm just not sure what to buy so I can finally get this thing put together. Is there any benefit to 12pt nuts rather than hex on the headstud kit?

What you have should be fine just get a good machine shop to do the work for you. Most guys that use a girdle and forged crank don't use the caps. I'm currently just using a good crank and 3 caps. I think its just a preference and what you feel more comfortable with.

Pretty much what he said above. The rjc girdle should have come with arp main studs.
