We have tested up to 8" of foam (EPS, XPS is stronger) with #10 screws and furring strips. Works fine with siding ( safety factor of more than 10).<br>
3/8" lags is crazy: never need it. The foam provides a lot of the strength.<br>
Check our <a href="http://buildingscience.com" target="_blank">buildingscience.com</a> website or my book for more detail on how this works.<br>
