ARP head studs

from all the ppl I have talked to they say to use the stock ones. you are deff gonna increase your chances of crackin your block w/ arp (etc) studs. The qusetion is would you rather replace your head gasket or a block.

depends if you over torque. Your block shouldn't be cranking from compression or boost unless your doing something wrong or pumping copious amounts of boost through it. studs are also nice for installing the head as it just slides on instead of trying to find the 2 keeper nipples.
