Default NEW UD pulley, What Bolts can I use

Do I want an ls3 bolt? I was looking at a site that only offered an LS7, LS3 and ARP. I dont want to spend 25 bucks on a bolt.
I just bought my SLP/Powerbond pulley but didnt get the bolt

The stock bolt should not be reused, they are torque to yield, one use and then they are garbage.

im very aware of that but i have never had a problem with it, nor have any of the several other people i know who have reused. I wont do it again on an install. At the time i was installing my cam and new pulley i didn't have a new bolt so i reused it with the intention of getting a new one but never did.

I just went the extra mile and got an ARP Bolt. I spent a few couple extra bucks but my car is worth it.

I am going with a GM bolt because my car is not worth it.

The GM bolts are fine for up to 700-800 HP. Just load 'em up with red loctite and TQ to spec.
