unless it's a race engine you don't need race bearings. properly size them and be safe.

that was the main thing that stood out to me...
running the car hard and having a race car are two different things.
race cars are rebuilt alot and reliability is not the main concern, on a street car you want it to be reliable.
in theory, race bearings have larger oil tolerances which allows the engine to make more power, but not be as reliable/last as long. properly sized bearings are your best bet
