Did you get this e-mail too? I just ordered all of my stuff and went ahead and upgraded to the ARPs, they're not much and it can't hurt. They shipped out my heads/cam/etc immediately after I upgraded.

GM is currently back-ordered on their cylinder head bolts, and they have not given us an ETA as to when they will be ready to ship. The cylinder heads will take approximately four to five days to build, but the head bolts could be back-ordered as long as two weeks! If you would like, we can upgrade the order to a set of ARP cylinder head bolts for an additional $85.00.

I'd just get the ARP, they are re-useable and you dont have to deal with that torque to yeild bs.

I just ordered some from Summit yesterday (along with a bunch of other GM parts), shipped this am. I was going to use SDPC but I didn't get a return to a PM I sent and was transfered to a voicemail when I tried to order. Oh well.

You can do three head swaps with GM bolts for the cost of the ARP's. How often does the average person swap heads? Once, twice at most?

The additional cost doesn't justify the benefit of being able to be re-used.

that's true but I felt it was worth it just so I didn't have to mess with the torque to yield crap. And I'm about to do a head swap so I'm glad i went with ARP

Scrap the stock GM stuff and go with ARP bolts or studs...
