Head studs.
I'm looking to pick up arp headstuds for my truck. I looked on eBay they seemed to be the cheapest and look to be arp. They are like 750 through II which seems pricey. Where is everyone getting studs from?

If its the 625's , then thats like Cost!!
Ftr, if you're going to do studs just go ahead and do 625's and be done with it!
625's are the best!

If cost is 750 they are making some serious bank on those studs. Personally I find it ridiculous to pay two grand for studs but I also don't know what goes into fabricating them.

IF we knew we probably just get more upset. I doubt they have even have $200 in them. They aren't hand made out of gold. They are just popular and people pay the price for them. You can still blow a head gasket with them all.

Yup, I agree 100%. I would guess they have way less than $200 in them, probably more like $10. I can't understand for the life of me why they cost so much. It's completely absurd.

And FTR, 625's vs the std arp studs is Huge!
Not saying you'll need 625's but in all my years of modding, I've found that if you do it right the first time, you'll actually save money in the end..
I never planned on getting to 850+ HP either, but glad I had 625's when I did...!

Advocate of getting the ban button used on him...
It is based more on boost pressure than horse power although they go hand in hand. They say the stock configuration will handle 40 psi of boost. Take it with a grain of salt though. There are lots of other factors that need to be thought about. The best thing to do is if you plan on going big, plan on head studs. Heck, even a stock truck can have the studs, it is just extra insurance and more reliability!! There really is no set number for boost or HP that says here is when you need to do studs.
