Stock Head Bolts vs Studs
BSwope and I have been chewing on this for awhile. Higher torque factory head bolts. What HP are they good to? Standard ARP head STUDS vs 625's.
At what point are the 625's better than the std ARP head studs with a 190,000 PSI rating? We would like to have opinions as to the FACTS, not that someone bought them because they are the BULLETPROOF way to go..
Thanks guys!!

If you can have Jeff do them than I would say go for it. Hes been using head bolts in lots of big HP trucks, but he knows what hes doing. To me its not worth $400 to break a bolt off in the head. My luck it would be way back on cyl #6. ARP 2000 and mls gaskets are good to atleast 800 hp maybe more. So it just depends on how far your going to take it.
