ARP studs. I took mine up to 85 flbs. In 5 settings instead of 3.

have you found any problems with putting so much torque on the block, the fac specs say liek 55 pounds or 65 pounds some thing like that. since you put the new studs in have you had any head gasket problems

g-string....., What up?

Do the studs. Some of these guys actually know what they are talking about and they aren't here to hold your hand.

I went with the studs. I torqued them in five stages. I threw a few 5lb passes in there mixed with 10 lb passes.

I went to 85ftlbs. You are not going to hurt the steel, that is your block.
Make sure you atleast lap your block. Machining the head is a must.

IMO, studs are superior to arp bolts. But that is only an opinion.

Get the tsrm for your car. There is an online tsrm that may be of use to you.
I have the book so I don't know the link but someone does.

well heres the thing.. if you mean me saying they can be torced to 100 you would be wrong for doubting me. i do have alot to learn but this is a Quote from the ARP Staff member that wrote me back when i asked if you could torc them to 100ft pounds

HELLO,

THE RECOMMENDED TORQUE IS 75 FT LBS WITH ARP MOLY LUBE, OR 115 W/ 30 WT
OIL. IF THIS TORQUE IS EXCEDED IT COULD DAMAGE THE STUD AND WILL VOID
ANY WARRENTY WITH THE STUD.

Sorry i didn't read you post in time IHATEHACKS.. you just said that.. but at least that also proves my point that it can be done.. but after reading all of this stuff 80-85ft pound will be just fine for me.
