Help me make up my mind!!

Lots of room

Did you make room? Lol. I'm just asking. You know everyone is afraid to go beyond 1.5" without damaging louvers. Me, I just follow the forum. I'll go out there tomorrow and see for myself. No b.s.

Ya know....you could be the only guy in the country that's ran 1.575s up the middle. And close to center. Without any issues.
You might want to take a peek. I'm just saying.

I run same length stud last year , no issues down the centre.

I believe it. I know there is genuine concern with stud length & louvers. But I honestly don't know first hand, At what length things get tricky. Lol.

Add: kinda funny cause i thought factory offered a 1.6 cobra on certain models?

There's a good 1" between tip of stud and the louvers.

That’s strange Woody’s list the exact same penetration for the .450 vs the .575. Is it the taller nuts on the .575 which give less penetration? So just go with the .450 since there is nothing to gain?

No, they have the same penetration because it shows them with two different lug heights. 1.375 and 1.5 respectively.

Don't be fooled checking static room. At speed the track wants to be a perfect circle and therefore its ballooned out between turning points in the tunnel. One guy has no problem cause he weighs 140, runs groomed railroad beds never gets near full compression and runs a tighter track.

Next guy at 250, rougher trails, more aggressive rider uses all his travel and a touch looser track and contact might be often and destructive.

Weight will also be a factor in how your pics penetrate.

I'm not worried, I run my track tight, a lot of guys have ran longer studs with no issues. Thanks for your concern though.
