My only point all along has been that 993TT studs work and work well. Oh, and a lot of reputable high performance engine designers use them.
I guess, in your mind, high performance engine designers like William Knight, Singer, Dawe, Jae Lee, and Jeff Gamroth live in a world of "group-think", "fear of change", and "a fog of complacency". Yeah, that's how all of them got where they are....
William is being quite diplomatic in his post. But please look at this statement he made:
"993 TT studs are NOT inferior at all..."
That is counter to everything you say about 993TT head studs.

Not a single engine builder you chant as the "holy grail" have been willing to do the research. On the other hand, I've built hundreds.
If any of your experts want to discuss the science/technology, I'm available. I would be interesting to have someone with an open mind to discuss the "real" issues.
Even William admits he's not willing /his customer won't let him innovate.
after selling a thousand + sets, we have never responded to negative input.
For those DYI builders looking to install a more conventional stud (using the silly nuts :et al) the Canyon stud is even superior to the 993TT.
John and I have been in the discussions surrounding stud technology for a couple of decades.
