Bearings , LQ4 on Boost
I have MS-2199P mains, and CB-663P rod bearings. It seems everybody swears by a different bearing and says the other is crap. I want to hear real world accounts of which bearings get the job done. I don't mind paying good money for better bearings if need be. If you don't have experience wit this subject, please don't post what your cousins buddy thinks. THANKS!

^ But chinese people are smart 
I used clevite H bearings in my last two engines. THey are nice. The main bearings you chose were P series. They are considered high performance bearings for street engines. P bearings are softer than the H and are more forgiving. H bearings are more geared towards race cars. I would run the P series in a heartbeat. I think I will try King this time around though just for the hell of it. I hear nothing but good things about them.

King is made in Isrial as well as most of the bearings now including GM. There is nothing wrong with king, I just prefurr Gm or Fedrals. The P series clevite is old technology. Not every clevite p series will fail under a high hp application, but most all the bearing failures I have seen have been Clevite, or mich 77 p series related. They are OLD tecnology and do not hold up as well in modern engines making 2+,hp per CI. Aluminum bearings like oem in LS engines. Their H series is a good bearing when ran with a aftermarket 4340 crank, but I stay clear of the p. I don't talk about it in here but I build 50-75 engines a year and have done a LOT of testing. My engines have held together and show the power at the track. Yet people on internet forums will still question and argue with my tec advise lol.
