Sounds like you want the pink powerband instead of the current blue powerband.

1-1\2 times the diameter of a bolt is the max holding limit of any thread.any longer is just extra. Ie. 1\2" bolt would equal 3\4 length of thread engagement.

lets talk about torque for a moment. average male human can pull over 600ftlb of torque from their legs. and probably 300ftlb from their arms. why cant a human on a bicycle win a drag race between himself and a banshee ? the human has 600ftlb's, theres no banshee in the world with over 200ftlb. answer is the human lacks horsepower. banshee has ample ammounts of hp. torque is how hard you can twist something, like a crankshaft. i know i am capable of tightening 250ftlb torque headbolts on my car. hp is how hard you can twist something measured over time. i am slow compared to an engine. i have less than 1/3hp. humans have a very low rpm on a bicycle so the hp is low. if human could make 600ftlb at 5000 rpm then we would all be monsters.
