Speaking of head studs, the Warhawk block adds provisions for two additional head studs per cylinder to increase clamping load on the head. That brings the total number of head studs on the block to 36 (versus GM's 20), and also spreads the clamp load over more studs, further alleviating the aforementioned thread stripping problem. This will also help eliminate the problem of pressure seeping past the head gaskets and "pushing water," an issue some hardcore racers currently experience.
