First off, the 6 bolt Ross Race pistons will fit on the 1g BigRod's without machining correct?

Next, what is the weak link on the 1g/2g combo. Is it the pistons or the rods or do both of them have about the same strength as far as max power goes.

Is there any downsides to running a cast rod on a forged piston? I have not done much research on that. I know the LS7 new Zo6 motors are Ti rods on cast.

Are ARP main stud's recommended on a buildup of a 6 bolt. I know I have heard some bad things about using them but im not sure if that was with 7 bolts and crankwalk or with 6bolts and something or another?
