455 rocker arm stud

I was just wondering. I'm running comp cam roller tip rockers. The studs I have are 5/16 stud in the head then transition to a 3/8 stud on the rocker side. Curious as to how much risk is there in breaking one on a motor with 450ish hp and under 5500rpm?

Not much at that rpm with the right spring pressures. Amount of hp is pretty insignificant.
