good headstud and gasket combo?
have a forged ls1 i plan on running 18psi on and im about to put the top end of the engine together, was going to order GM LS9 head gaskets and 12 point ARP studs (part# 46-234-4316) will this work (ls1 being 5.7 and ls9 being 6.2?) and or work well together? thanks!

I have always used ARP head studs along with Cometic head gaskets and never had an issue on FI/N20 motors I have done for customers. The GM stuff does look very nice and works really well to.

im running 243 heads, i have wesico 8.5:1 CR pistons so the 243 heads should bring me up to 9:1 CR, i saved up enough to get the ARP studs, ive spent this much money on it so far i dont really wanna cheap out on the studs : \ appreciate the input though
