High Horse Power strokers and ARP studs

Man if you're gonna spray, it's just a little added insurance. I'm running em on a stock bottom end short block 346 just because when i build my 427 i'll already have them. If you're looking at n/a then you'll be more than adequate with the arp head bolts instead of the stud kit

I think if the factory fasteners are fresh and properly installed you probably will not have any problem out of it. They used to build jugged strokers before ARP came out with any and they "lived".

Every LS block I have sceen making decent power w/ factory bolts has had significantly more metal transfer between the caps and block. Factory bolts tend to strech under high loads. The ARP's reduce cap walk considerably. Bearing also look alot nicer.
